Garden Route & Eastern Cape

Travel along South Africa's Garden Route to enjoy one of the most iconic journeys in the world. You'll find secluded beaches, charming coastal towns and quite breathtaking mountain and forest scenery.
 
The usual approach to the Garden Route is from Cape Town, via Swellendam or on the famous Route 62 across the arid and starkly beautiful Little Karoo. 

Hotels and resorts listed are those chosen by our inspectors and by our customers for their location and value.
You can sort them by name, by location or by price. To combine Garden Route holidays with other Africa destinations ask for our free planning service.
