Haarlem, Western Cape, SA

Haarlem is a settlement in Garden Route District Municipality in the Western Cape province of South Africa. The village is 16km east of Avontuur and 29 km south-east of Uniondale, in the Langkloof. Originally laid out in 1856, it was taken over by the Berlin Missionary Society in 1860. The mission station was named Anhalt-Schmidt, but the village had already been named Haarlem and bears that name today, presumably after the city of Haarlem 19km west of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Small scale farmers can still be seen tilling their lands with animal-drawn implements. Cows, horses and donkeys roam the gravel roads freely when not in use. One cannot but help feeling a sense of freedom, peace and tranquillity that one only can only experience away from the noise, traffic and stress associated with big city life. A few hours spent wandering or cycling around Haarlem and its scenic surroundings is a cultural experience and therapy that is sure to detox and refresh the mind. Stay overnight and enjoy the colourful sunsets and clear starry skies on a clear night, undimmed by bright city lights.
