This is a lovely little town in the heart of the Free State's cherry growing industry. Rock paintings are splashed around the area and there is an abundance of nature based activities such as hiking. It has a wide range of accommodation varying from the sensible to the esoteric. The esoteric can try Rustler's Valley (Tel/Fax: (051) 923939) whose stunning setting overlooks the Maluti Mountains. We think that they have great doubles but found the staff's unfriendliness strangely at odds with the general "peace, love and prosperity for all mankind" ideology of the place. A car is preferable.
