Bookbedonnerd Book Festival
Richmond is South Africa's book town. The annual Bookbedonnerd festival draws readers, writers and browsers from across the country.
What to do in Richmond
Richmond is more than a stopover on the N1 — it's a Karoo destination in its own right. Here's what's worth your time while you stay.
Richmond Horse Museum
A tribute to the region's horse heritage — a genuinely unusual stop worth an hour of your day.
Eat in town
Two restaurants and a takeaway keep you fed — handy, since our units are self-catering.
Easy to reach
Right on the N1, roughly halfway between Cape Town and Gauteng — the perfect place to break the journey.
