Darling Property | Swartland

Darling is located near the West Coast region in South Africa’s Swartland and lies tucked away between hills filled with vineyards and fields of wheat.  The area is renowned for its beautiful Victorian homes, but also for its canvas of colour during the wild flower season, which attracts a wealth of visitors from all over the Western Cape and beyond.

The setting here is idyllic, particularly in light of the fact that Darling is relatively isolated, which gives it an air of tranquility and serenity surrounded by all that nature has to offer.  The tourist sector has ensured that this little village is steadily growing and there is an infrastructure here to cater for all your possible needs, with supermarkets, banks, a pharmacy, a clinic, schools and a number of churches.

Groenekloof is the name of the area in which Darling is situated and dates back to 1682, when the pioneer explorer Oloff Bergh journeyed into the north through the heavy sands of the West Coast.  The Swartland village is named after a former lieutenant governor at the Cape and was founded on the Langfontein farm in 1853.  If you are interested in a lifestyle full of peace and quiet, with a rich cultural focus then Darling is the place to buy property.
