Departure
Rosendal is a small farming town and arts colony 45 km north of Ficksburg in the Free State province of South Africa which was founded in 1908. It has become a popular tourist destination, known for spectacular scenery, including the surrounding Witteberg mountains, and is home to a community of artists and small business owners. The town has a number of attractive buildings and restored early-20th-century homes. The quality of architectural design for newly built homes is notable, adding to the town’s attractive character. This includes a number of “Tiny Homes” which has earned Rosendal a reputation for becoming South Africa’s tiny home capital. There are art galleries, cafes and restaurants as well as a heritage district of restored buildings in the former downtown.
