Miniature Golf
In Jeffreys Bay there is on the main beach a small mini-golf course with no less than 18 holes. It’s called PutPut, costs about 20 rand per person and is great fun. You play on concrete tracks that are covered with a fleece rug.

horse ride
A few kilometers from Jeffreys Bay, Beach Horse Rides Papiesfontein offers the opportunity to borrow horses and perform beautiful riding excursions.

St. Francis is about 35-40 minutes drive away. You drive until after Humansdorp on the R 102 and turn at the stop street turn left in Humansdorp, driving through the main street of Humansdorp and turn left again at the end. St. Francis is already signposted from the stop sign.

St. Francis is from the village of St. Francis, the port, Port St Francis and St Francis Cape.

It is nice for an afternoon to make a trip there. St. Francis himself has many houses with thatched roofs and white walls. Many houses in the Mexican style can be seen. There are some nice restaurants. Just try it.

The port is quite nice. Also a couple of restaurants. Land here on the fishing boat and unloaded at the freshly caught calamari.

With a touch of romance Cape St. Francis is shod. Here we always find it nice if there was a little windy and the waves break on the reefs and rocks and foam.

African Dawn
Situated on the old road (R 102), about 20 minutes from Jeffreys Bay to Port Elizabeth.
A very small cozy property. Embedded in a ring of mountains, one is here in the African Green. A very large bird aviary cages and various show animals. Even a crocodile is on site. So far we have taken a little more for a picnic. Also, we have grilled the girls. A beautiful goal, if you want to spend a few relaxing hours in cozy surroundings of a few animals. A large turtle usually runs around freely.

Kareedouw is already somehow in the inner country and not at the coast. It is hilly and somehow quite picturesque. It is worth a more relaxed visit without any claim to special tourist goals. The eye will find pleasure in the overall mood and the many details.
We always take a drive to there, because our goal in Kareedouw, right on the main street, is this cute and yummy day restaurant “The Sweaty Dutchman”.

Here you will find a fine coffee and above all very tasty pancakes. In versions sweet or savory – just how you prefer to have it.
One can sit nicely on the front benches or shaded in the small but cozy coffee room. For ourselves we prefer it to walk through coffee room and sit on the porch at one of the two round tables. You can enjoy such a nice relaxed garden feeling. The pancakes and coffee are always worth the way to Kareedouw definitely!

Township Tour in Port Elizabeth

Es ist eine interessate und persönlich lehrreiche Erfahrung wenn man sich mal einen Tag gönnt um das Leben der Menschen in einem Township kennenzulernen. Da man auf keinen Fall einfach mal alleine mit seinem Auto in ein Tonwship fahren sollte, ist das Buchen einer geführte Tour genau das Richtige. Port Elizabeth ist nicht weit weg und bequem zu erreichen.

African cultural experience in Khoisian Cultural Village
On your way to Tsitsikamma. Here you can buy Arts & Crafts.
Even simple accommodation in a round house is possible. Simple, but nice experience.

Old Nick Village

It is on the N2 just before the first exit to Plettenberg Bay. We love this place and visit it at least once in every holiday. We like the athmospere, the food, the people and the shops.

This place is food for the soul and is a retail theatre of talent and imagination. Children can run free in the magical gardens enhanced by a wonderful climbing sculpture.

Expect the unexpected – a lazy musical afternoon on the lawns, a special exhibition or an encounter with resident birds or the occasional Vervet monkeys.

They have restrooms for the disabled with many stores and the restaurant accessible for wheelchairs.

We often include a visit at Old Nick in a 2 day trip which consists of visiting Monkey Land, Birds of Eden, having a splendig dinner in Plettenberg Bay (for example in “The Table”), staying over night in a guest house in Plet, enjoying breakfast in Old Nicks restaurant, visiting Lanewood Snake Sanctuary or Tsitsikamma and then driving back to Jeffreys Bay. Lovely.

A nice walking tour you can book under “capewalkingtours.co.za”
I even took the tour on foot in Cape Town more than a bus ride through the city. But of course, also a bus tour is very nice to discover Cape Town.

Here are some examples of experiences, events or tours:

The descent into the blue word “free diving” many immediately think of the movie The Big Blue, which helped the sport to worldwide recognition. But a Cape Town is associated with free diving or freediving immediately think of Hanli Prinsloo. Hanli is South Africa’s record holder in freediving and the secret weapon of big-wave surfer, she teaches them how his breath so long lasting that the lung is put to the test.

Book with a one-day course Hanli, where you learn not only the free-diving, but also experience the dolphins, seals and sharks, which live in False Bay, at close
“hanliprinsloo.com”.
