Elim
General Information on Elim
Elim is a small town situated in the Overberg region of the Western Cape. It is one of the most attractive and picturesque of the surviving old-time South African mission stations. Founded in 1824, it has changed very little since then. Beautifully thatched, white-walled little cottages, face onto a furrowed and Fig tree-lined main street. The community consists of farmers, farm workers and artisans.
Elim is becoming known for the export of Fynbos, and as an emerging area in the production of wine. There is a small but comfortable variety of accommodation options available from Bed and Breakfasts to Self Catering units.
Although this is a small and quaint village, there are still many things to keep the visitor busy. From hiking to bird watching. Please see our Activity Directory for more things to do in this area.
