    Being a holiday destination there is plenty to see and do!

In close range we can list a few:

  • A visit to Natures Valley is a must. Scenic with safe beaches and a tidal lagoon that is like a magnet to children.
  • Nearby Kurland offers a five star luxury hotel with international cuisine and a polo field of world class.
  • Nature trails that one can drive, walk or even cycle and that allows you to take in the beauty of the Tsitsikama mountains and wooded mountain slopes.
  • Within 6km you will find yourself on one of South Africa’s most pristine beaches. Stretching from the Keurbooms to the Robberg peninsulas. 35km of white sand and sea separated by a nature reserve that one can only access by boat via the Keurbooms river.
  • The Keurbooms river is a tidal river that promises a lot of fun to navigate whether by power driven boat, sunset cruises arranged specially for tourists, sailing boats and even canoes and rowing boats. One can choose to go up or down river or both. The former choice will take you on a meandering route between granite faced gorges reaching up to the sky and culminating in a creek that can only be entertained by canoe. Down river takes you to the mouth of the river and the vast Indian ocean with spectacular views of Plettenberg Bay and a nature reserve enriched with the most amazing bird life and known for its friendly seagulls.
  • A half-day at Monkey Land is a must. Always entertaining for the kids and very educational for adults. Many, many species to view and to learn all about. The other half of the day can be spent at the nearby Crags Elephant Sanctuary.

 
A little further away and great for day tripping, there is the following:

 

  • A visit to Plettenberg Bay itself. Pristine beaches, sea adventures and a quaint village graced with all kinds of shops and friendly shopkeepers to attend to your needs and provide you with all sorts of information. There are a multitude of coffee shops, tea lounges, restaurants that cater for all tastes, wine bars, pizza huts and many other specialty food outlets. There are many home industry stores that will enable you to take away something special that will always remind you of your visit to these shores.
  • The bustling little town of Knysna is just 35km away. Known for its magnificent entrance from the sea and the lagoon from which you can feast on oysters freshly harvested from the oyster beds in the naturally formed lagoon that makes Knysna what it is, a coastal village that ranks with the best in the world.
  • One cannot avoid a visit to Storms River. Both to the mouth to observe the turbulent river enter the ocean and the bridge that spans the huge gorge that forms part of the famous Cape Garden Route. Not to speak of the famous Blaaukrans ravine which boasts the highest bungee jump in the world.
  • The Tsitsikama forest adventures which includes a tree top cable ride 40m above the forest bed spanning beautiful yellow wood trees that are in excess of 100 years old.

A little further away is the town of George. This town has probably one of the finest golf courses around the world and nestles in the foothills of the Outeniqua mountains. Across the mountains are the world  famous Cango Caves, a sight to behold and it also the home of South Africa’s famous bird, the ostrich.
