Porterville is a picturesque town in the Bergriver region of the Western Cape of South Africa. It lies at the foot of the Olifants River Mountains, 27 km south-east of Piketberg and 155 km north-east of Cape Town.
This unspoilt country town of some 9 000 inhabitants is a land of extremes, offering diversity, hospitality and authenticity. The region is famous for the rarest of flowers, the Disa Uniflora. It is the only place in South Africa where you can see fields of these flowers in nature, the rarest being the sulphur yellow Disa, which has been found only in one small colony in Porterville.
The climate varies from dry, hot summers to cold winters with snow on the mountain peaks and storms rolling in from the Atlantic coast in the west. The Dasklip Pass leads to the mountain and the Groot Winterhoek Nature Reserve.
Hiking trails to places called Die Hel and De Tronk reveal dramatic rock formations and an abundance of flora and fauna. Die Hel has one of the largest rock pools in South Africa. The Waterfall Trail leads where waterfalls plummet down towards undulating wheat fields. Porterville is a paragliding mecca and annually hosts many local and international paragliders along with events during the summer.
