The character is of a period in history long gone by, with it's predominantly Victorian architecture.</div> <bR> <div> Redelinghuys was originally part of the farm Wittedrift.  Sir George Napier handed it over on 31 December 1841 to a Mr. Hendrik Koetzee, who died in 1848.  A Mr. J.N.L. Redelinghuys bought the farm and gave the church a piece of the farm as a gift. </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0eca0780.jpg" border=0 width="160" height="120" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="5" VSPACE="0">Construction on the first church commenced in 1866 and in 1873 it was used for the first time.  In 1921 a new church was built and was first used for the fist time in 1927. The old church bell is still in use.</div> <bR> <div> One day in the country is worth a month in the town.  Return to the country where there are no holidays, one day is like the next. Come and experience life for the first time, when you lock your doors in the city and enjoy a life out in the country at the little town of Redelinghuys, with its fresh smell of untouched fynbos. </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0eda0780.jpg" border=0 width="160" height="120" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="5" VSPACE="0">The area and particularly the Verlorenvlei, is renowed for it's bird life, which number near to 200 species and of which about 75 of those species are waterbirds.  The Verlorenvlei is their final resting point before they move on to the northern hemisphere at the end of our summer. </div> <bR> <div> The Velorenvlei estuary, is fed by a perennial river that starts in the Cedarberg. It is one of the largest natural wetlands along southern Africa's West Coast. This National treasure, regarded as a coastal lake, is connected to the sea via a 2,5-km-long channel.  During winter, the lake fills to a maximum depth of 4.5 m and overflows into the sea near Elands Bay.  </div> <bR> <div> This lovely area is covered with a blanket of flowers from July until October.  It is also famous as the potato Mecca of the Sandveld.  It's a great place for those who love the sea, but don't want to live on the beach. Property is still affordable in the area and if you love fishing, surfing or just swimming, it's only a 20 min drive to Elands Bay, which is also famous for its beautiful and ideal surfing beaches. </div> <bR> <div> Wake up every morning to the sound of the multitude of birds after a peaceful and quiet night. As a recent visitor said: "Its so quiet here, that last night, I dreamed I was in heaven."</div> <bR> <div> This place is definitely an intrinsic gift from the creator and deserves to be appreciated by every bird watcher and nature lover.</div> <bR> <div> Property in the area is affordable, with a variety of varying property prospects being offered, including weekend cottages, retirements homes,smallholdings, vacant land, farms, riverside and seaside property, guest houses etc.</div> <bR> <div> <B>We welcome Links with other suitable Town / City Guides, Regional Information, Accommodation, Travel Guides, Tourism and Community Information Sites!</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Advertising on this web site by Local Enterprise and the Local Community is FREE! </B></div> <div> <B>For our terms for free advertising, please read the conditions by clicking on the link above.
