The Elgin Valley
The Elgin valley is situated on an inland plateau surrounded by mountains some
70 km from Cape Town.
Altitudes in the valley range from 300 metres to 600 metres above sea level
creating a cool climate opportunity for deciduous fruit, flowers and vineyards. A
narrow range of mountains separates Elgin from the sea.
Elgin is bordered by the internationally recognised Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve,
home to a dazzling range of plant species unique to the Cape floral kingdom. This
kingdom in turn is the smallest, but most diverse, floral kingdom on earth.
