The Garden Route Of South Africa - For A Beach Holiday Of A Lifetime
If you ever visit South Africa, you should definitely include the Garden Route area in the south of the country in your itinerary. This is a stretch of coastline beginning at Mossel Bay and ending at the Tsitsikamma Forest in the east (near the town of Plettenberg Bay). Between these to points you will find a number of quaint resort towns, as well as the commercial hub of the area, George.
Arriving from Cape Town, you will first encounter Mossel Bay. This historical old town with its many finely preserved colonial buildings has an atmosphere and charm all of its own. It lagged behind the other Garden Route towns in development for many years, but nowadays it bursts at the seams with luxury hotels and guest houses. Standards are high: We could not help to notice that our hotel even had baby bath tubs available for those who travel with a baby.
Further east you find the beautiful towns of Groot Brak River and Klein Brak River, both popular resort towns drawing thousands of South African holidaymakers during the peak December/January tourist season. When the Northern hemisphere is groaning under a blanket of snow, it's of course summer in South Africa. This fact makes it an ideal winter holiday spot for Europeans.
Sixty kilometers to the east of Mossel Bay the road enters the commercial and industrial center of the Garden Route. George has numerous excellent restaurants, cinemas and shopping malls. This the place to go when it's raining and you can't go to the beach. Fifteen minutes drive east of George lies Wilderness - a stunning combination of white beaches and lush green mountainside. Once again there are many restaurants, some with live music at night (during the season). We once spent a great evening at one of these restaurants where I noticed that the guitar player had a martin acoustic electric guitar, just like the one I have back home!
After George the road is flanked by the beautiful green hills of the Southern Cape most of the time, with the sea visible now and again. Forty kilometers from George you go through Sedgefield, where there is apparently a fine costume jewelry wholesale distributor (although we couldn't find it any more the last time we were there). The town is also surrounded by several beautiful lakes and is therefore a favorite holiday spot.
The beautiful historic resort of Knysna is located sixty kilometers from George. Strictly speaking it's not a seaside resort (it's on the shores of a lagoon), but the southern part of town, called The Heads, does overlook the sea. This has become a tourist town per excellence over the past few decades. There are more restaurants per capita than in any other town on the Garden Route.
The last town on the route is Plettenberg Bay. This is where the wealthy and well-known hang out to see and be seen. There's a legion of upmarket hotels and guest houses and just as many restaurants. A few km further to the east you arrive at the eastern border of the Garden Route - the Tsitsikamma rain forest. Here you will forget for a few hours that you are only 200km away from the semi-desert Karroo region - it's a haven of waterfalls and ferns and you might even run into one of the few remaining elephants in the forest.
