Area Info
Situated in the small village of Hectorspruit, which has the availability of a bottle store, excellent butchery and a small convenience store (all close at 5pm daily and not open on Sundays). We would suggest stopping at Malelane or Komatipoort en route to buy your larger shopping requirements. This is a village where you can walk or have a morning/evening jog, a place where children still ride their bikes and families walk.
