This is a great local market that offers free parking and an easy drive from the coast. The market requires masks to enter and is encouraging hand sanitisation and social distancing. It had lots of different food stalls offering local and worldwide produce and local handmade good to buy and very easy to walk around. There was a great atmosphere and a train/tractor ride for the little ones to enjoy. The venue is also dog friendly.

bella strada panoramica verso il Klein Karoo

Driving through the pass we were blown away by grotesque Outeniqua mountain, the fresh air, and gorgeous surroundings. Beautifully kept clean and an absolute must-see for any visitor to the Garden Route. Living in George, it remains a must to head back for a Sunday drive and experience nature at its best, again.

Great waves, and friendly locals. Beware of the rip currents when entering the ocean, I would advise that you ask someone that knows the beach setup before you enter it.

We were pleasantly surprised with our visit to Herolds. The winemaker, Nico conducted the wine tasting and gave great insight into the processes and philosophy behind each wine. Afterwards we enjoyed a delicious cheese platter. A most relaxing visit - we will definitely be back

Cape Palette Art Gallery in George is one of our favourite galleries to visit and is always a treat for the eyes. We always come home with a beautiful artwork. Well worth a visit with great variety and affordable prices. And also great to chat to Doris and Leander who can advise on artwork and framing. I can’t wait for our next visit.

This Island can only be reached via a VERY narrow yet well maintained bridge. I suggest that you take the turnoff opposite SPAR for easier more accessible public parking. Best times to visit the Island is out of season, January to February for lovely quiet beaches and swimming in the warm lagoon. Also very beautiful on misty mornings for some stunning pictures. The long stretched out beach also lends itself to long strolls. You can walk around the Island and there is lots of bird life to see.
