Route
I've put together an illustrated information document and made it available to you for download.
It contains lots of details about our well loved Cape Garden Route,
including popular holiday venues and accommodation. Garden Route Guide
A great
place on the Garden Route for you to visit is
Witsand which
is considered the 'Whale Nursery' of South Africa. It is situated at
the mouth of the Breede river and borders the De Hoop Nature Reserve. Between May
and November each year the Southern Right whales congregate offshore to
mate and calve. The region offers some of the best whale viewing in
the world.
Riversdale lies
beneath the Langeberg Mountain Range on the N2 about 300kms from Cape Town. It is a charming country
town renowned for its hospitality and mountain scenery. It is also a
popular adventure centre for hiking, 4x4 trails, outdoor activities and
excursions to nearby seaside towns. The area is known as the 'Floral
Paradise' of the Garden Route due to its many varieties of indigenous
plants. Accommodation in Riversdale

Albertinia not far
from Riversdale along the N2 is known for its thriving business
industry combining dried flowers and reed thatching, as well as ochre
and clay mining, and aloe sapping factories used for producing health
products. The Albertinia region contains unique varieties of Cape
