History of Suurbraak Historically, the Attaqua Tribe occupied the area and because of its natural beauty, they called it Xairu, meaning “beautiful”. The earliest Dutch cattle traders translated the name to Paradise. It was established as a mission station in 1812 by the London Mission Society and later in 1875 taken over by the Algemeende Sending Kerk. Till today, almost two hundred years later, the locals, like their ancestors, have retained a connection with the earth and sky in this fynbos-adorned and birdlife- rich region. Donkey carts frequent the streets and horses, sheep and cattle graze in the gardens behind houses everywhere. In some sense, time has stood still at Suurbraak.

Situated 250km from Cape Town (20km northeast of Swellendam, 32km west of Heidelberg and 24km southwest of Barrydale) next to the Buffeljags River and almost overpowering Langeberg Mountains. Suurbraak is nestled amongst streams of running water and sheltered by giant oaks.
