Barrelling along the N10 between Port Elizabeth and Cradock, most people don’t even notice the little historic 
What makes the village unique is that its privately owned. It was bought by the Noupoort Christian Care Centre (NCCC) some years ago. NCCC is a drug and alcohol addiction rehabilitation centre. They place those who have rehabilitated and those still rehabilitating in Middleton as part of their second fase of rehabilitation. The residents are entrusted with everything from finances, to purchasing, stock taking, cashing up and the general running of the projects available. This trust given to those rehabilitating builds self confidence, self esteem and a sense of achievement which is paramount in completing recovery.
From the road passing motorists can’t see much of the village other than the bright pink farm stall and the historic little Methodist church, which I will post about tomorrow. So if you do slow down on your way to the coast, do pull over and go have a look at this extraordinary little village.

O think if I saw a barn painted that shade of pink, I'd stop by to at least get a photo of it! Looking forward to seeing the church!

The problem is we are always in such a hurry to reach our destination, we never stop at these lovely little places along the way. I am pleased you are showing them to us Jonker.

This little town seems to be very..eh…well pinkish. I love stopping off in Karoo villages when driving down to the Cape. They do have a charm of their own and I just love the people inhabiting them… also with a charm of their own.
