Aurora, Western Cape

Aurora is a town on the west coast of South Africa situated 43 kilometres north-west of Piketberg and 29km south of Redelinghuys. Established in 1906, it was named after the Roman goddess of dawn.
A village famous for its night sky and known as the “centre of the universe” on account of the French astronomer Abbe De la Caille who used the spot to determine the shape of the earth in 1751.
The town has a beautiful church at its centre and there are surprisingly well-known restaurants. Amazing flower displays rounds of the offering of this small Sandveld gem.

Lovely church, school as well, western slope of Piketberg mountain behind and further down, the coast. Nice to drive from Piketberg, to Aurora and then to Redelinghuys and back to Piketberg. So encircling the mountain. A road from Sauer to Kapteinskloof, a valley betw the mountains, where orange orchards are, and a short pass, hugging mountainside, with a lookout point to the north, continueing on will connect with road back to Piketberg. So explore the mountain for a day, and feel refreshed.All 1.1/2 hrs from Cape Town. Check online for bnb's.

What happened to the little restaurant run by the old German guy. Is it still there or did Covid close it down ?

[@AfricanTravelCrew]

It is still there, but wasn't open when we visited.
