    Peaceful and beautiful location. Some other reviews miss the point of staying here. No TV but instead enjoy being surrounded by nature, create your own entertainment. I didn’t miss an electric blanket as there are plenty of thick blankets. Overall...

    The hosts were fabulous and I felt really welcome. The gardens are stunning, the room totally adequate and comfortable. The stillness at night was deeply restorative. Had fun swimming in the river and exploring the surrounding areas!

Neighbourhood information

Sedgefield is a lovely seaside village that is surrounded by lakes and sand dunes covered in pretty fynbos. It lies in the heart of what is known as South Africa’s Lake District and is well known for its pristine beaches, water sports, and paragliding. Situated between Knysna and George, Sedgefield is a popular holiday destination, as it provides both peace and quiet, as well as the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. Just to the west of the village is Swartvlei Lake, which is a great area for camping, fishing, canoeing, and windsurfing. To the east lies Groenvlei, a freshwater lake famous for bass fishing. Groenvlei forms part of the Goukamma Nature Reserve that stretches across to the Goukamma River estuary at Buffalo Bay, and all along the coast. The Goukamma Nature Reserve and the Wilderness National Park offer visitors plenty of bird watching opportunities as well as walks through indigenous fauna and flora. This area is a bird lovers’ paradise with over 250 listed species. Gericke’s Point is a well-known landmark just outside Sedgefield. The beach, with its long coastline and beautiful rock formations, is ideal for spearfishing and is a must-see!
