What people say

Hannah Saxon Mackay

"I could make a whole new itinerary just for Port Alfred because we got so familiar with the quiet town over our four years of studying. There isn't much to do and you have to make your own fun but there are some beautiful views, nice restaurants (Tash's, Kenny's, Saloon, Cest la Vie, Kong Coffee, The Penny Farthing, etc). Be sure to stop in for ice creams and sea views at Waffle Zone and if you're looking for a little bit of a party, Guido's Bear Bar gets pumping on Wednesdays and Fridays or you could just go for the pool tables and slot machines."

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!
