The Elgin Valley is arguably one of South Africa’s most beautiful areas. Stretched out between the Groenland and Kogelberg mountains, it’s an outdoor paradise. Discover a playground of bike tracks, trails and hikes for everyone from toddlers to professional athletes. Zip-line over fynbos and waterfalls; swim, fish, canoe or cruise down a river; picnic or relax in the sunshine. Elgin’s specialist adventure organisers will assist you in making the most of your natural surrounds. Abundant bird life can be spotted throughout the area while night-time drives often reveal owls, wild cats and small deer.
Check into a bell tent or Airstream trailer to ‘glamp’, or relax in a rustic farmhouse with fire crackling in the grate or on the braai. Stay in a B&B among the orchards, a wooden cabin beside the river, or tumble into a country home with the whole family and friends.
