Area Info:

In 1874 the Frere Bridge was built over the Orange River which was on the farm of Uitspanning. On 20 January 1938 the Frere Bridge was replaced by the current Hertzog Bridge resulting in the Cape and Free State now being connected. The farm Uitspanning was owned in the early 1904 by a Mr Koot van Rooy, a lawyer of the state, he managed to purchase it after many years of negotiations. In 1961, my father then bought this farm. In 1980, after I inherited the farm, horse stables were erected for my thoroughbred horses. In 2008 these stables were sold and transformed into a 5 star guesthouse. With that the restaurant “The Stables” became well known countrywide.

Attractions:

Famous attractions for tourists to Aliwal North are the two hot mineral springs which surface from the Gariep River at 34C. It is suggested that the high concentration of minerals and gases in the spring water help to alleviate ailments such as rheumatism and arthritis. Visitors to Aliwal North may wish to discover the ancient San rock art work in caves of the surrounding area. The nearby Buffelspruit Nature Reserve is home to hundreds of antelope and buffalo. Zebras and oryx have also been re-introduced to the park. The historical Cemetery in Smithfield is one of the oldest in the Free State and worth a visit. There are war graves, and other historical figures were buried here, like the first church Dominee of the Reformed Church, the first shopkeeper, etc. The cemetery is easily reached on foot at the start of the hiking trail that leads up the mountain.
