6 Day Garden Route

Cape Town to Port Elizabeth

Day 1: Cape Town – Montagu
Depart Cape Town and drive along the scenic ‘Route 62’ and stop to sample the fine wines that line the route. Set on the edge of Klein Karoo, the scenery quickly changes from colourful lush valleys to a semi desert with a mountainous arid landscape. The historic town of Montagu will seduce you with its picturesque colonial buildings. You will receive a warm welcome at Mimosa Lodge and plenty of advice on local attractions. (100km)
Accommodation: Standard: Mimosa Lodge (Classic Room), Superior & Deluxe: Mimosa Lodge (Garden Suite)

Days 2 & 3: Montagu – Oudtshoorn
Set off early for Oudsthoorn and pass through the stunning scenery of the Klein Karoo: arid and majestic, there are many sightseeing options. Visit an ostrich farm, explore the famous Cango Caves or just relax and appreciate the old colonial farmsteads we have chosen. On the second day we recommend an excursion to Swartberg Pass (payable locally). (B) (230km)
Accommodation: Standard & Superior: De Opstal, Deluxe: Altes Landhuas (Suite)

Days 4 & 5: Outdshoorn – Knysna / Plettenberg Bay
Travel over Outeniqua Pass and descend into the colourful Garden Route. Choose between either Knsyna or Plettenberg Bay as your base to explore the delights of the region. Beautiful beaches, forest walks, dramatic gorges, small towns and superb food characterise the region. Knysna is a busy little town with plenty of shops and restaurants to choose from. Plettenberg bay is more laid-back and has a beautiful beach. It too has numerous restaurants and small boutique shops. (B) (135km / 169km)
Accommodation: Standard: Kynsna Log Inn, Superior: Laird’s Lodge (Deluxe Room), Deluxe: Hunter’s Country House (Garden Suite)

Day 6: Kynsna / Plettenberg Bay – Port Elizabeth
Stop to admire some of the most beautiful parts of the Garden Route as you drive to Tsitsikamma Forest. Take a detour and drive the scenic route through Nature's Valley, which decends you into dramatic gorges and down to a wild bit of coastline, before proceeding onto Tsitsikamma National Park. Finally, continue on to Port Elizabeth where your tour ends. The car is booked until tomorrow (6 days car hire) but must be returned no later than the time it was collected. (B) (285km / 248km)
