What people say

Hannah Saxon Mackay

"Our favourite spot to visit on weekends as university students. It is a little bit of a hike to get there and is not very clearly marked, so do some research before you go or ask a local to show you the way, but it isn't too hard to find. My advice is not to go over the weekend as it is quite popular and the little enclave can get busy. Please be careful of the riptide and don't swim out too far in rough conditions. Even if the water is too cold for you, the place is beautiful for exploring and a picnic. Take a soccer or rugby ball too if you're in a group."

Garden Route Road Trip

In October 2022, my boyfriend and I took a roadtrip from George to Johannesburg to get his car back home. We thought we'd make the most of it and amble along the Garden Route for a few extra days. It was amazing, so I wanted to share some of it with you and add a few extra tidbits for those of you experiencing the places for the first time. It's recommended to go in spring or summer, but try to avoid holiday periods (December and January) as it can get super busy and sometimes pricey, unless you're going for a party haha. Enjoy!
