YOUR HOLIDAY GATEWAY TO THE GARDEN ROUTE

The Garden Route is one of the most scenic parts of South Africa. Situated on the Southern Cape Coast almost midway between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, the area offers some of the most beautiful scenery and the widest variety of nature's gems to be found anywhere in the world. The Garden Route stretches for two hundred miles from Heidelberg in the west to the Storms River mouth in the east; from the vaulted peaks of the Outeniqua Mountains in the north to the rolling white waves of the Indian Ocean in the south. The town of George is the commercial hub of the Garden Route and is conveniently situated to enable easy access to the many scenic spots along the Garden Route and inland to Oudtshoorn home of ostriches and the famous Cango Caves. Glenwood Lodge is therefore the ideal base from which to explore and enjoy the marvels of the area.

OUR SPECIAL LOCAL ATTRACTIONS

The George Riding Club

Across the road from Glenwood Lodge is the George Riding Club. They offer various riding activities including outrides. The outride to the Garden Route Dam is particularly enjoyable.

Honing up at the driving range

A short walk from Glenwood Lodge is the Driving range and nine hole Mashie Course. The prices for a bucket of balls or a round on the mashie course are very reasonable. There is a very good Pro-shop on site. 

Tranquil setting at the Garden Route Dam

A short drive or for the more energetic, a brisk walk to the Garden Route Dam is a wonderful outing where one can enjoy the tranquil setting of the dam edged with fynbos and forest.

OTHER ACTIVITIES

Safe swimming at Victoria Bay  Outeniqua Choo-tjoe crosses Kaaimans ridge  A ferry ride on Knysna Lagoon

The Garden Route has so much to offer. Just a short drive from Glenwood Lodge and you are at the sea, with safe swimming at Herolds Bay and Victoria Bay. Take a day trip to Knysna and enjoy a ferry trip on Knysna Lagoon. For something really unique you can take the famous Outeniqua Choo-tjoe steam train to Knysna. Wilderness has some of the best sandy beaches in the area, what better to spend a lazy day in the sun. Keen on wildlife? Then get close to the big ones at Knysna's Elephant Park or visit an ostrich or cheetah farm in Oudtshoorn.
There is always so much to do, that no visit to the Garden Route is ever long enough.
