I recently spent a weekend here, and it felt like I was in the Lake District in England. The restaurants, thrift shops, antique shops, and a lovely Saturday market, where all the locals get together and socialise.
The market has bunting, hay bales, and home-baked goodies to eat. It opens at 10 am and is full of great favourites. My personal favourite is the pancakes! And the soft, beautiful guitar playing in the background, but June, who owns the Nursery.
Another highlight of our gorgeous village is its Art. Oh my, it’s everywhere, you will be pleasantly surprised at the incredible galleries of art on the walls. Greyton has become somewhat of a haven for the artistically minded, with David Kuijers, with his clean-cut lines, bold colours, and child-like illustrations.
He has a stunning gallery where you can see his work. With freshly baked cakes, local meats, cheeses, jams, and bread, Vias Deli is the place to go for a hamper full of food.
Stock up and take a picnic to the nature reserve or dine out at one of Greyton’s restaurants. Go to The Posthouse for a mean pork belly, Searles rustles up tasty pizzas best enjoyed in the garden, Peccadillos has a blackboard menu of traditional British grub, and Oak and Vigne does moreish sourdough sandwiches.
If you are adventurous and love to shop, this tiny town is perfect for you. The country living is evident as horses graze on the main road, and you will come across dogs that know their way around the village.
One thing I noticed is that at each shop, they have water for all the animals. There is a profound respect for animals, and everyone looks out for everyone.
