The Love of Fresh Oysters

“What started as a love of fresh oysters has culminated in this new attraction that will bring together oyster lovers from all around the country to boost the Hartbeespoort tourism sector,” she said. Obviously, all of the oysters on the Route are flown in fresh every weekend from the crisp Cape coastal waters where they are cultivated.
