Established in a fertile valley at the foot of the Riviersonderend Mountains in 1854, Greyton has retained much of its rural charm: thatched cottages amid beautiful gardens, oak-lined streets and 'leiwater' canals.
Amongst its many fine buildings are the Moravian Church, Greyton Lodge (the original buildings date back to 1876) and the Post House, which formed part of the original homestead on Weltevreden, the farm on which the village was laid out. In the 1890s, the building housed Greyton's first post office, hence the name.
An area of 2 200 ha to the northeast of the town has been set aside as a municipal nature reserve, and can be explored along a network of walks and trails ranging in duration from 30 minutes to three hours. The 14-km-long Boesmanskloof Hiking Trail between Greyton and McGregor is a popular day trail.
