Evidence of Steytlerville's long history since 1875 is preserved in the Steytlerville Museum, which houses clothes, implements and memorabilia from the turn of the century, This part of the Eastern Cape Karoo is the centre of the wool and mohair industry, and home to sheep, ostrich and goat farming. Local farmers around Steytlerville are also re-introducing game, such as kudu, duiker, wildebeest, klipspringer, impala and zebra to the area, and opening up portions of their farms for Eastern Cape malaria-free game viewing.

Situated at the entrance to the Baviaanskloof, Steytlerville has access to one of the world's most famous heritage sites, one which shows the footprint of human history.

Steytlerville is known as 'the stoep-sitting capital of South Africa'. More of an art than a past time, it's when you sit on one of the long street facing verandah's and do absolutely nothing other than chat to friends, raise your glass, and while away the time appreciating life in this quaint traditional Eastern Cape town.
