George and the Garden Route

The Garden Route has a Mediterranean Maritime climate, with moderately hot summers, and mild to chilly winters. It is one of the richest rainfall areas, most of which occurs in the winter months, brought by the humid sea-winds from the Indian ocean. Any time of the year is good for visiting the area, depending if you enjoy a peaceful retreat during the winter months, or a bustling holiday destination during the summer.

George is the sixth oldest town in South Africa - the first founded under British rule - and was named after the reigning monarch in 1811, King George III. The Outeniqua forests were the reason the Dutch East India Company, in 1776, established a woodcutters outpost on the site of what became George in 1811. It was declared a drostdy by the Earl of Caledon on 23 April 1811. George gained municipal status in 1837.

The town is very centrally situated: halfway between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth and centre of the Garden Route - ideal from where to explore the areas many variant and diverse scenic wonders. Situated on a 10 kilometre plateau between the majestic Outeniqua Mountain to the north and the Indian ocean to the South.  With sophisticated road, air and rail links to all major centers, it is a convenient base from which to explore the Garden Route and Klein Karoo.

Experience Agri-Tourism first hand on the Outeniqua Country Hop Route – a scenic route including Herolds’s Bay in the south and the Herold Wine District in the north – pick your own strawberries, sample authentic Dutch cheese and taste wine.

Housed in the Old Drostdy (built in 1811) the George Museum’s main theme is the timber industry.  George’s historic churches include St. Peter & St. Paul, the oldest Roman Catholic Church in the country, the Dutch Reformed Moederkerk (consecrated in 1842) and St. Mark’s Cathedral.

George also boasts with the Garden Route Botanical Garden and hold a Wild Flowers Show during October.  Events and festivals are held year-round and includes the 2^nd biggest motor show in South Africa, the George Old Motor Show and the Outeniqua Wheelchair Challenge.

The town of George is one of South Africa’s premier golf destinations, offering 10 courses, many designed by top professionals, driving ranges and a world class golf academy all within a radius of about 60km. Courses include The Outeniqua or Gary Player designed Montagu golf courses at Fancourt, Kingswood Golf Estate, a Sally Little signature course, Simola, a Jack Nicklaus Signature course, Pezula championship course, with dramatic views, Oubaai Golf Course, designed by Ernie Els, Pinnacle Point designed by Peter Matkovich and professional golfer Darren Clarke, Goose Valley a splendid Gary Player designed signature golf course and last but by no means least, our own George Golf Course.

The Outeniqua Transport Museum is the only one of its kind in South Africa.  It houses a replica of an old station, displays of locomotives, coaches, motor vehicles and animal-drawn transport.  The Montague pass is a scenic drive and National Monument.  Catch a ride with the power van (rail trolley) that travels through the Outeniqua mountains.

George has much to offer the visitor with its city-like infrastructure but not forgetting its small town roots.
