About Aurora

Aurora is a small Sandveld farming town about two hours from Cape Town, reached via the N7 through Piketberg or the coastal R27 through Velddrif. Most trips here are short local runs, with places like Redelinghuys and Piketberg all within 50 km, though a few long-haul visitors do pass through from as far afield as Excelsior. EV charging is scarce, so juice up in Piketberg first. Fun fact: this patch of Sandveld grows some of the rooibos tea the world drinks.
