Klaarstroom, meaning "clear stream" in Afrikaans, is a quaint village situated at the northern end of Meiringspoort in the Western Cape. Established in the mid-19th century, it served as a vital stop for farmers transporting wool to the port of Mossel Bay, making use of the clear mountain streams to wash their cargo.
The village is renowned for its well-preserved Victorian architecture, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. Notable structures include the Klaarstroom Hotel, built in 1874, which continues to welcome visitors seeking a tranquil retreat.
Surrounded by the majestic Swartberg Mountains, Klaarstroom offers a serene environment for those looking to escape the hustle of modern life. Its rich history, coupled with its natural beauty, makes it a hidden gem within the Prince Albert Municipality.
