| Traveling the Garden Route |
 The famous Garden Route is really a "destination all on its own"... This is a "large area" to cover, literally from Cape Town, going north to Port Elizabeth, there is much to see and do, therefore, several days would be needed to cover this route reasonably well. It would take around 4 to 5 hours to drive straight from Cape Town to Knysna/Plettenberg Bay and another 3 to 4 hours straight driving from here, up to Port Elizabeth. Alternatively, there are scheduled flights from Cape Town to George/Plettenberg Bay.
Four of the best hotels on the Garden Route are the:
The Lodge on the Bay, Kurland, Hunters Country House and Tsala Treetop Lodge, which have all won numerous awards. The Fancourt Hotel and Golf Resort in George is a spectacular golf resort, including a hotel, clubhouse, golf academy, health and beauty spar, 18 hole golf courses , swimming pools and tennis courts and a number of privately owned houses alongside the fairways. The St James of Knysna is situated on the lagoon in Knysna is an excellent accommodation option, with spacious and comfortable guest rooms and suites, good catering and ideal location from which to explore this bustling town (famous for it's oysters and arts & crafts). Rates would vary from around R850 per person sharing, per night, on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis.
