What people say

Hannah Saxon Mackay

"If you're on your way up to Gauteng and have a few days to spare, stop in at Hogsback. It literally stepped out of a fantasy novel because it's where Lord of the Rings was inspired. The town is filled with great little shops, hikes and waterfalls, myths, legends and a lodge with a bathtub overlooking the valley (Away with the Fairies - Nature Lodge)."

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!
