Established in 1832 The Historic Pig and Whistle Inn is the cornerstone attraction of the frontier town of Bathurst and is a South African National Monument. Only a 15 minute drive from the seaside town of Port Alfred on the R67 to the university town of Grahamstown, a visit to the Pig and Whistle is a lovely stop on any day out, and is a perfect spot to use as your base for exploring the area.
