Ronnies Sex Shop

There are loads of farm stalls, bars, and restaurants to stop at along the way. One of the most famous of these is Ronnie’s Sex Shop. The story goes that one of Ronnie’s friends added the word sex to the sign outside his business as a prank. Instead of changing the sign back, he left it and Ronnie’s is now one of the most famous pubs in South Africa. Stopping for a burger and a beer is non-negotiable if you are driving down the Route 62. Insider tip: If you find you’ve had one too many to drive, book yourself a room at the Warmwaterberg Spa just down the road and soak the night away in their famous mineral hot spring pools.

Ronnie's Sex Shop is an iconic and quirky roadside attraction that stands out among the many farm stalls dotted across South Africa's rural landscapes. Originally intended as a farm stall, the addition of "Sex Shop" to the name by pranksters turned this unassuming spot into a popular pit stop for travelers looking for a humorous photo opportunity and a chance to enjoy a cold drink or simple refreshments in its bar adorned with graffiti, memorabilia, and messages from visitors from around the world. While not your typical farm stall offering fresh produce and local crafts, Ronnie's Sex Shop has become an integral part of the travel culture in the region, providing a unique and entertaining break from the road.
