Travel the Garden Route South Africa
The Bay Hotel South Africa Cape Town
Our family simply loves it. Traveling in South Africa is easy for us, we live here. From our base
in East London, in the Eastern Cape, we have a short hop through Port Alfred and on to Port
Elizabeth. The start (or end) of the Garden Route, it depends which way you’re coming from.
For this travel article we’ll take you from Cape Town toward Port Elizabeth and try and give
new visitors to the area an insight into this beautiful part of South Africa.
Many LOCALS RATE this region of the Western Cape and Eastern Cape as one of the prettiest
in the South Africa. There are a few arguments perhaps as to where the actual Garden route
begins and ends as many say the Garden Route begins as one leaves Cape Town and ends on
entering Port Elizabeth, whilst this might be true, the real Garden Route, the most beautiful
section anyway, starts from the town of Mossel Bay and ends in Port Elizabeth.
We’ll take you through the route from Cape Town as if you were driving through. The road
winds it’s way along the excellent N1 National Road, you won’t see much of the sea until you
start the downhill section toward the town of Mossel Bay, passing the Sasol oil refinery,
approximately four to five hours easy travel from Cape Town. Mossel bay can be described as a
small but historical fishing town, built on the edge of a beautiful bay. Mossel Bay is currently
2/5

3. being re-discoverred and has re-invented itself as a travel destination. Recently completed
additions are the Casino complex; the Pinnacle Point Golf Estate, many residential apartments
and accommodation options around Diaz Strand and the recently upgraded Mossel Bay Golf
Club. One can either by-pass Mossel Bay on the N2 or take the easy detour through the town.
This detour can be extended through the holiday resort villages of Klein Brak and Groot Brak
Rivers, popular holiday resorts with many holiday homes, busy over the Christmas season.
Not too far along the highway you will by-pass the George Airport, serviced by SA Express
airline and also the town of George and the large Garden Route Shopping Mall, recently built
and confirming the role of George as the commercial hub of the Garden Route. George has
wonderful examples of South African architecture, illustrating the influence of the Dutch
extending from the 1600?s, commonly referred to as Cape-Dutch Architecture. George is the
home of the famous Fancourt Golf Estate, a golf and residential complex where the Presidents
Cup competition and many others have been played, if golf is your game, do not miss the more
traditional George Golf Club, rated usually in the top ten in the country. If you intend heading for
Oudtshoorn and the Karoo, this is where one can turn toward the North.
As you pass George you could take a turn to the right, a lovely little Bay, also a popular surfing
spot, known as Victoria Bay and commonly referred to as Vic Bay by the locals, take a break
and walk along the road in front of the houses, the writer was once fortunate enough to watch a
cormorant (SA sea-bird) fishing a deep pool in crystal clear water. Just after Vic Bay, some tight
turns, a lovely section, through the Kaaimans Pass. Take it slowly and beware of speed
restrictions through the turns and you will pop out over Dolphins Point, a great place for a view
stop, look out for the schools of Dolphins but if you don’t see any, enjoy the vista of the
Kaaimans River Mouth, the Indian Ocean and the Wilderness coastline.
Wilderness started off as a small resort village along one of the many rivers that link a series of
lakes around the Wilderness town area and National Park, a nature reserve where water birds
are abundant. Wilderness has since expanded with residential and accommodation
developments between the N2 and the shoreline. The Wilderness can no longer be described
as a small coastal area or resort town due to it’s expansion but it has succeeded in maintaining
it’s natural beauty. For a little peace and quiet, particularly if you enjoy birding, walking or
mountain biking, the Wilderness is a wonderful place to consider spending a night or two if you
are touring or even longer for a family holiday. It is well situated with easy access to the rest of
the Garden Route wich can be accessed by shorter day trips.
As you leave the Wilderness area, you will still feel part of the lake region as you travel the short
hop, perhaps half an hour, toward the resort town of Sedgefield. Sedgefield is situated toward
the end of the lakes and is a small holiday village that stretches out along the edge of the
various waterways. Populated by many holiday homes and serviced by a shopping area along
the N2, keep a look out for some local shops of interest, the whole area is home to forests and
also some extremely able furniture manufacturers that have remained long after the last tree
was ever brought down, this no longer being the practice.
A drive along the N2 for approximately twenty km’s takes one along the shores of Lake
Pleasant to the turn off to Buffels Baai, or Buffalo Bay. As you drive along look out for the
3/5

4. Outeniqua Choo Choo as it’s known, one of the last operating steam trains which plies the
route daily between Knysna and George. Just a few minutes from the N2 along a tar road is the
resort village of Buffels Baai where a lovely beach, one of the nicest along the Garden Route,
lies sheltered in a small bay. An ideal stop over for a swim break, a lovely shop and restaurant
and a long beach walk if you need to stretch your legs.
The next town is one of the reasons that makes the Garden Route a destination of choice. As
you leave Buffels Baai and return to the N2, you will go up and over steep hill and cross the
long bridge over the Knysna River, to your left the hilis and the River, on top of the hill you will
see the Simola Golf Estate in the distance , to your right the full expanse of the famous Knysna
Lagoon. A lovely scenic road takes one into the Knysna village, once the home of the timber
industry in the region, now one of the most popular tourist destinations in South Africa. Knysna,
with it’s Knysna Waterfront; Thesen’s Island; the Heads and Leisure Isle is an exciting holiday
town with much to offer the visitor. certainly a good place to make your base as you tour the
Gardeb Route. Accommodation options include many Hotels ; Guest Lodges and Bed and
Breakfast accommodation.
The short area between Knysna and the next town, Plettenberg Bay has many quaint farm
stores selling an assortment of local wares, there are also restaurant and accommodation
facilities for those wanting to take their time along this section. One actually turns off the N2 into
the holiday mecca of Plettenberg Bay, known to many as the Nice , Cannes, and even the
French Riviera of South Africa, Plett, as it is commonly referred to, is the chosen holiday resort
of many a well known South African businesses person, teeming with luxury homes, fine
restaurants and a lovely, up-market shopping area. Add the mix of two good golf courses,
Plettenberg Bay and Goose Valley, the beach, the polo fields and arguably the best weather
along the coast and Plettenberg Bay has simply got the recipe just right for an African beach
holiday.
One leaves Plettenberg Bay, having perhaps made a visit to the nearby Keurbooms River and
lagoon along the N2 toward the Tsitsikamma forests and Nature Reserve. Either take the toll
road or if you are not in a hurry, take the older road that passes through the forest and natural
terrain, it is suggested you have a map with you, this is certainly the more picturesque route
through the village of Natures Valley. At a small village called the Craggs, is the Bird’s of Eden,
the largest under cover aviary in the world, set aside and hour or two for this and it’s sister
attraction, Monkeyland, both well worth the visit, you must remember to take off your shiny
articles, such as earings, some of the birds are a little too playful, a lovely experience not to be
missed.
Tsitsikamma Nature Reserve is home to the Storms River Mouth area, camping, chalets and
very well positioned along the rugged and exciting coastline. Storms River offers visitors nature
walks, some exciting adventures such as tubing on the Storms River, scuba diving in the
reserve, abseiling and quad biking for the young at heart.
As you wind your way toward Port Elizabeth, consider stopping over at Jeffries Bay and St
Francis, both popular seaside resorts with many holiday homes available for rental.
