Darling

Darling is a charming small town on South Africa's West Coast, known for its butter, wildflowers, and unique artistic scene. The town's cultural heart is Evita se Perron, a former train station that now serves as a theatre and museum for Pieter-Dirk Uys' famous alter ego, Evita Bezuidenhout. Here you can immerse yourself in South African satire and history. You'll also find the Darling Brewery, cherished for its high-quality craft beers, and the Darling Museum, which details local history. Darling is particularly appealing during the wildflower season from late August to early September, when the surrounding nature reserves are in full bloom. For an authentic experience, a visit to one of the many artisan shops or wineries in the area is recommended.
