The Very Beginning:
Named after Cornelis Jacob van de Graaf and his wife Cornelia Reynet, this town was used as a stopover for all passing travelers.
In 1865, after the arrival of the railway, there were 64 recognised ‘outspans’. Graaff-Reinet became a major trading centre and the ‘outspans’ were essential in order to maintain the ox-wagon transport system providing a place to feed, water and rest the oxen. For the convenience of the travelers, many Inns were built, and today there is still a vast selection of accommodation venues available to suit your needs.
