Patensie, Gamtoos Valley, Eastern Cape
Patensie, in the heart of the Gamtoos Valley, is surrounded by the Cockscomb Mountains. The economy of this farming town is based on citrus and the orchards create a wonderful patchwork of dark green. The community is thriving and apart from citrus, vegetables, chicory and tobacco are also planted. Game farming is growing into a lucrative business and the area is fast becoming a big tourist attraction. Patensie is the last stop before entering the Baviaanskloof Wilderness area. If you are feeling peckish, stop for a light meal at Tolbos, a quaint eating spot in Patensie.
Just 25 km outside Patensie towards Baviaanskloof, is the beautiful Kouga Dam which irrigates the local farmlands and also supplies Port Elizabeth with most of its water.
Patensie is accessed off the N2 either at Humansdorp on the R330 or close to Port Elizabeth on the R331.
