Attractions and Activities
The Swartberg mountains make up a mountain range that runs roughly east-west along the northern edge of the semi-arid area called the Little Karoo in the Western Cape province of South Africa. To the north of the range lies the other large semi-arid area in South Africa, the Great Karoo.
There are several passes through the Swartberg Range, the most famous of which is possibly the Swartberg Pass that runs between Oudtshoorn in the south and Prince Albert in the north. The pass is not tarred and can be a little treacherous after rain, but offers spectacular views over the Little Karoo and the Great Karoo to the north. Much of the Swartberg is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
29km from Oudtshoorn, at the head of the picturesque Cango Valley, lies the spectacular underground wonder of the Klein Karoo – the Cango Caves. Situated in a limestone ridge parallel to the well known Swartberg Mountains, you will find the finest dripstone caverns, with their vast halls and towering formations.
Visit the Cango Wildlife Ranch and Valley of Ancients, endangered species breeding facility extraordinaire. The oldest and biggest cheetah contact centre worldwide offers visitors the rare opportunity of interacting with our hand reared cheetahs and getting actively involved in saving this species and others from extinction.
Karusa Vineyards is the first and only winery on the Cango Route and situated only 700 meters from Die Fonteine Guesthouse. Karusa is a specialist producer of Methode Champenoise and Mediterranean styled wines. Enjoy a visit and tasting at the winery and also the light lunches served in a Karoo Tapas style with an ice cold glass of Sauvignon Blanc!

Die Fonteine Guesthouse Reviews
“Lovely room, great views and very hospitable hosts. They seemed to have thought of everything we might need, so we could just move in to the room and relax. The breakfast choice was very good, too.” –DJD140215
“We stayed here for only one night and we enjoyed it. The B&B is situated in a quiet area, it has a beautiful garden with a lot of birds, the rooms are spacious and warm, breakfast was very good, the owners are friendly people.We wish we’d stayed here a bit longer.” –Wereldreizigster50
“Great accommodation, very private and comfortable, on a farm north of Oudtshoorn, on the way to the Cango Caves. The breakfast was excellent with a wide range of treats available plus freshly cooked eggs and bacon. Lovely and friendly hosts.” –Antelope58
