To us locals Uniondale is the best place ever, and we love getting visitors share it with. We are proud of our Little Karoo agricultural dorpie. Here you will experience the sense of community and belonging that only happens in small towns like ours.

Agriculture is still very much part of the town, which is the central hub for employment, schools, hospitals and other community activities. Local farmers support the school and boarding house, churches and charity organisations. Farming includes sheep, angoras, seed and fruit farming which all employ a lot of people.

Visitors to the area are delighted with the wide open spaces, diversity, stunning scenery, magical flora and incredible geology.

Our historical buildings include seven national monuments.
