Karoo Heartland The tiny town of Indwe lies between Dordrecht and Elliot, approximately 70 Km north-east of Queenstown and at the foot of the picturesque Stormberg Mountains. Indwe is a small historical mining town with not much to do except the beautiful Reformed Church is worth a visit. Most travellers pass through the town when taking the R56 as an alternative route to the Transkei. This route may take a little longer but allows the traveller to explore a few little out of the way towns and offers a more scenic drive over a few mountain passes. Its rural and remote position offers very little for travellers other than a country feel. Dairy and sheep farming is the mainstay of the area.

The town lies on the Komani River with the Hangklip Mountains as a backdrop and is an ideal base from which to explore the many nature reserves in the area. Lovers of nature and gardens will enjoy the quiet and tranquillity of the Walter Everitt Gradens and the Memorial…
