Activities
If you would like to go to the beach, our local bay, Victoria
Bay, is definitely the best! On any coastline in the world, I dare you to
find a swimming beach that can equal the beauty, swimming and surfing qualities
of Vic Bay! With only a few houses, it is a non-commercial beach and weather
wise, the best of the best! Green grass to lie on whales in season, dolphins
year round, excellent surf - a definite must! Hikers will enjoy the scenic
hike between Vic Bay and Wilderness over the Kaaimans Railway Bridge.
Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe steam train from George to Knysna runs along pristine
coastlines and lakes.
Outeniqua Power Van takes you up the Outeniqua Mountain and halfway up Cradock
Peak where you can enjoy your picnic in the wild. Visit the Outeniqua Transport
Museum.
Dutch Reformed Church just opposite our house. It possesses some of the most
stunning architecture in George. The pulpit is magnificent and made of Stinkwood,
the roof; floor and benches are of Yellowwood.
Visit the Congregational Church in Pacaltsdorp – built by the interesting
Reverent Pacalt in the 1800’s and stop at the Anglican Church in York Street
with its beautiful and historic windows.

strawberry farm, see how they make cheese or visit the breweries. Visit a dairy
farm and see how a computerized dairy organises the cows for milking or artificial

George is in the centre of all activities in the Garden Route! To travel from
here is quite easy;
To the west is Mosselbay: You may want to dare yourself and go shark cage diving,
bungee jumping or see life on Seal Island. On your way home stop for a game drive
or swim at the Herolds Bay
To the north is Oudtshoorn where you should visit the world famous Cango Caves,
ride an ostrich, but definitely not a croc on the other farm!! Stunning mountain
passes all around you.
To the east is Wilderness and Knysna where you can indulge yourself in extreme
sport like paragliding or abseiling. Wonderful trails for hikers next to the
lagoon, the river, forest or sea where you can kayak, canoe or just enjoy the
