| Stutterheim is a small
town at the foot of the Amatola mountain range in the
Eastern Cape. Blessed by the abundant natural beauty of
its surrounding dams, hills, indigenous forests, farmland
and forestry area's, Stutterheim is quiet perfection for
hikers, mountain bikers, fishermen, birders, caravaners
and campers. Being situated directly on the N6 to East
London makes for easy access to the town and its
surroundings. Established as a
missionary station in 1837, the town has since grown to a
community of 30 000. In the last decade our town has
received widespread recognition for its achievements in
community building, community development and sound local
government.
The town's primary industries are the
surrounding farming and forestry area's and associated
industries such as sawmilling (Rance
Timber). The last two decades
have also seen the development of a successful light
manufacturing industry (Newden
Products) and recently the
establishment of a growing tourist industry for those
interested in the outdoors.
