Kylemore is a small village in the Western Cape, situated inland from the Overberg region, between Bredasdorp and Napier. It lies along the R316 and is surrounded by farmland and gentle hills. The area is primarily agricultural, with a quiet rural community.
History of Kylemore
This suburb is named after a town in Ireland; it is home to a previously disadvantaged and economically vulnerable community. Many of the inhabitants are officially unemployed apart from seasonal work as farm labour. For the rest of the time, they rely on personal endeavours, but opportunities are limited.
The postcodes are 7600 (Streets) and 7680 (Boxes)
