Meet the people

Pierre Joubert

Chairman of the Irrigation Board

“The town is very well located. Here, you have the best of two worlds: the beautiful agricultural valley, and the sea at Jeffreys Bay is only half an hour’s drive away.”

Lizelle van Waardenburg

Waitress at Padlangs

“I’ve been here for three years. Even though it was initially a little difficult to fit in, I now really enjoy the community. There’s just not a lot to do for young people!”

John Moore

Hotel owner

“It’s been seven years since I moved to Patensie. I got tired of life in the city, and I saw a gap with the hotel. My hair has since turned grey! Well, the big plus is the great quality of life… and everything is within easy reach.”

Connie Müller

Farmer

“I’ve been watching the inkommers here for many years. When they arrive, they cry because they miss the city life. But once they leave here, that’s when they really cry.”
