Stormsriviermond hangbrûe

Die Tsitsikamma Nasionalepark op die Tuinroete is een van die mooiste plekke in Suid-Afrika met sy inheemse woude, loodregte kranse en pragtige kuslyn.

Lilies and cottages

Lilies growing along Oak Lane in Storms River Village in the Tsitsikamma with some of the old forestry houses (now under the control of SA National Parks) in the background. Beyond the houses is the Tsitsikamma forest and in particular the Plaatbos section.

Forest stream cascade

Beach or Bush? Bush or Beach? That always seem to be the choice when people do these mini surveys on where folk would like to go for their holidays. I can think of one or two others to add but one that springs to mind immediately is Forest. What's wrong with a forest holiday? The breeze … Continue reading Forest stream cascade →

Fygies between the rocks
