Where Karoo and Baviaans meet

WELCOME! WELKOM!

Welcome to the Willowmore website! Hopefully you will find whatever information you are looking for or at least obtain a lead in the right direction.

Willowmore, it seems, was officially established in 1874. But before that time there were of course Koi and farmers in the area, often at loggerheads with each other. It is now one of the largest mohair producing districts in South Africa. Furthermore, it boasts most of the amenities and facilities found in larger towns and even cities (a hospital and well-kept airfield attest to this (even if the solitary aircraft, ZS-DXZ, dates back to an era gone by!). Karoo towns often have problems with water - or a lack thereof. Willowmore is fortunate in that it has access to a strong water source on the farm Wanhoop, more than 20 km from town.

The name Willowmore is nowadays closely associated with the Baviaanskloof World Heritage Site and the annual Baviaans Mountain Bike Race (intended only for the super fit since it ends in Jeffreys Bay after a strenuous section of more than 100 km through the Baviaanskloof). But do please peruse these pages further to find out more about this exclusive town, its district and people..
