The remote mountain village of Rhodes is situated in the Eastern Cape near the Lesotho border, approximately 50km from Barkly East. Tucked away in the southern Drakensberg, this charming destination offers a raw, untamed escape for those who crave adventure.
Rhodes is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. In winter, the area sees snow — making it a unique destination for snow hiking and even cross-country skiing. In warmer months, the rugged landscape comes alive with opportunities for fly fishing in the Bell River, mountain biking on gravel trails, and 4x4 off-road driving over alpine passes like Naude’s Nek, one of the highest in South Africa.
For the truly daring, there are multi-day hiking routes that traverse mountain ridges and descend into lush valleys. Birdwatchers and nature photographers will also find Rhodes a treasure trove, with a diversity of flora and fauna set against dramatic backdrops.
Rhodes is ideal for adventurers looking to disconnect and immerse themselves in one of South Africa’s most unspoiled highland regions.
