This grasslands and wetlands region also attracts various frog and butterfly species, and the lakeside village hosts an annual Frog Festival each December and a Wild Flower Festival each January that see visitors coming back year after year, not only for the flora and fauna but for the warm-hearted hospitality too. Due to its relative isolation from big cities and its small size — only people live in Chrissiesmeer proper — it's an ideal place for stargazing and taking long exposure photographs of the Milky Way.

Besides its natural beauty, Chrissies — as it is affectionately referred to by locals — also attracts those interested in learning about the history of Alexander McCorkindale and the odd Scots who in settled in the region with the intention of establishing a New Scotland Republic, namely a sheep farming and mining enterprise that would act as a buffer zone between Swaziland and greater South Africa. There's even a love story about Lieutenant Arthur William Swantson, who died during the Anglo-Boer War and was sent flowers annually on the occasion of his death by his finacee in England.

The locals continue the tradition to this day.
