What to do in George

South Africa is home to some of the world’s finest golf courses, most of them located within a stone’s throw of George. If we had to hazard a guess, you’re probably in the area to hit a few balls and top choices are undoubtedly Fancourt, Oubaai and Le Grand George. A hit with would-be Tiger Woods, the resorts also cater to most members of the family, with pampering spas, top-notch restaurants and plenty of activities for little ones too. If George is your base for a Garden Route trip, there are a selection of beautiful nature reserves and hiking trails to explore all along the coastline, ranging from the cliff-drop dramatic to family-friendly. Charming Wilderness is only a 15-minute drive away and home to buttery-soft beaches and a variety of water activities, guaranteed to set your heart racing, whilst Knysna’s pretty harbour-side restaurants and shops are less than an hour by car. Whilst you’re behind the wheel (and you're daring enough), head to Montagu Pass for impressive views of the region – and more than a few hairpin bends!
