Beaches: If you would like to go to the beach, our local bay - Victoria Bay - is definitely the best! On any coastline in the world, I dare you to find a swimming beach that can equal the beauty, swimming, and surfing qualities of Vic Bay! With only a few houses, it is a non-commercial beach and weather-wise ... the best of the best! Green grass to lie on, whales in season, dolphins year-round, excellent surf - a definite must! Hikers will enjoy the scenic hike between Vic Bay and Wilderness over the Kaaimans Railway Bridge.
Outeniqua Power Van takes you up the Outeniqua Mountain and halfway up Cradock Peak where you can enjoy your picnic in the wild.
Visit the Outeniqua Transport Museum.
Do some church hopping and visit the:
Dutch Reformed Church just opposite our house. It possesses some of the most stunning architecture in George. The pulpit is magnificent and made of Stinkwood. The roof, floor, and benches are of Yellowwood.
Visit the Congregational Church in Pacaltsdorp. Built by the interesting Reverent Pacalt in the 1800s and stop at the Anglican Church in York Street with its beautiful and historic windows.
Outeniqua Hop is a route through our scenic farmlands, where you can visit a strawberry farm, see how they make cheese, or visit the breweries.
Visit a dairy farm and see how a computerized dairy organizes the cows for milking or artificial insemination!
