About Hankey

Hankey, the oldest town in the Valley, is home to the largest sundial in Africa (diameter: 36.4m) as well as the remains of Sarah Bartmann, a Khoi-san woman who was laid to rest upon a hill outside the town after leading a tragic life of ridicule and shame due to her strange body shape. From the Toposcope in Hankey, onlookers will have the most magnificent views of the Gamtoos flood plains, while the 9-hole golf course offers the perfect opportunity to unwind.
