WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF COLESBERG
Colesberg is a traveler’s oasis on the main Cape Town-Johannesburg route, the N1, offering many attractive accommodation establishments and entertaining, educational distractions.
The town lies in typical Karoo veld and is surrounded by koppies (little hills).
The most famous is Coleskop, which can be seen from a distance of over 40km.
Early travellers called it “Towerberg” that translates into “Magic Mountain”.
The curious thing about this koppie is that as you travel towards it, it never seems to get nearer.
In a sheep-farming area spread over half-a-million hectares, greater Colesberg breeds many of the country’s top merinos. It is also renowned for producing high-quality racehorses and many stud farms, including one owned by legendary golfer, Gary Player, are nearby.
Thanks for visiting our town’s site – we hope you’ll enjoy your stay and come to visit again!
