Piet Retief, officially known as eMkhondo, is a picturesque town nestled in the south-eastern corner of Mpumalanga, perfectly situated in the Grass and Wetlands region. The area is characterised by beautiful, sprawling plantations of Bluegum and Wattle trees, forming a lush, green landscape that provides a tranquil setting for travellers. It serves as an excellent stopover point for those heading to the North Coast beaches of KwaZulu-Natal or towards Eswatini. The town and its surrounds are a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Bird watchers, in particular, will find a wide variety of species, making this one of the main attractions of the area. For those who enjoy an active holiday, there are numerous excellent hiking trails, such as the popular Assegai Hiking Trail, which meander through the stunning mountainous and pristine countryside. Additionally, the local dams and rivers offer superb fishing opportunities for fly and coarse anglers, being well-stocked with indigenous yellowtail and Natal yellowfin. Beyond the natural beauty, visitors can explore the town’s history and local craftsmanship. The Dutch Reformed Church, a prominent landmark designed in 1921 by the renowned architect Gerard Moerdijk, stands as a testament to the area’s heritage. A unique local find is the charming collection of handcrafted candles available for viewing and purchase at Rohr’s Country Guest House, providing a perfect, locally designed souvenir to take home.
