About Goedverwacht
The village is situated in a fertile and well-watered valley and is characterized by gardens full of flowers, fruit and vegetables. The church and parsonage were built by the villagers and are constructed of local stone. Other interesting buildings include the school, the Mission Store and the watermill which now houses the museum.
The Moravian mission station of Goedverwacht is nestled between the Piketberg Mountains and is accessed by an excellent tarred road off the R399, between Piketberg and Velddrift.
