POSTED ON: April 27, 2015 IN Latest NewsWOW what an awesome experience in such a small town!
And so much to do!!!
Hubby to be and I decided to go on a Holiday Road Trip after our working Road Trip (6th Annual Ultimate Garden Route Road Trip – 9 golf courses in 7 days – hosted by Mariska Nortje and Mickey Louw).
Saying this all – part of the Holiday Road trip was to do site inspections / explore Tsitsikamma and St Francis Bay as both these areas are popular destinations for visitors / holiday makers.
PS – Only way I can give informative information to my clients is by experiencing this all myself! What a privilege!! So blessed!!
Day 1 – we arrived at Tsitsikamma Village Inn – DISCOVER A MAGICAL NEW WORLD!!
49 rooms in total, facilities like De Oude Martha restaurant, the Hunter’s Pub, Cafe Bacchus, Barbecue facility, Games Room, Swimming pool, Free wi-fi, Conference centre and loads of activities, like Tree Top Canopy tours, Segway tours, Abseiling and Zipline Waterfall Tours, Scuba and boat diving, Black water tubing and so I can go on and on!
When they say its a Magical World they are not lying!! MAGICAL and FRIENDLY TSITSIKAMMA!
After a friendly welcome and check in at Reception – off we went to the Tree Top Canopy Tours.
What a great and exciting experience that was! Very interesting to learn about the different trees, how you know their age, how you know if it’s male or female, the type of tree they use for the Canopy Tours and why, the bird life and so much more!

Day 2 – Early morning rise to start the day with a good spread of healthy breakfast at Tsitsikamma Village Inn.
and did we need that breakfast as we were out the entire day Mountain biking!
………
We enjoyed a late lunch at Marilyn’s 60’s diner! A MUST SEE!
It felt like I was living the 60’s! Funky, Quirky, and Retro
American style diner serving everything from breakfast, cakes & milkshakes to all American burgers, dogs-with-a-difference, pasta, cocktails and desserts!
That evening we were spoiled by Angie and her team at Tsitsikamma Village Inn – they prepared a very romantic braai for us… THANK YOU guys!

Day 3 – Morning of check out – enjoyed another tasteful breakfast followed by check out.
Today we decided to do the Segway Tours!
Yes it’s a must! At first you feel off balance but once you have it – on your way you are!
We enjoyed an hour ride through town – greeting everybody (real family town – love it) off into the forest – off-road trail.
Short after that we sadly had to leave our magical town… with new excitement ahead – ST Francis Bay
We arrived at Beach Break – Cape St Francis Resort! What a beautiful Villa! 5 star!!
[maxgallery name=”day-3-tsitsikamma”]
Day 4 – Today we slept in a bit as it was a cold and rainy morning. – we didn’t mind at all! We were spoiled with breakfast at the Villa – they come and make your breakfast “at home” for you – isn’t that something special! We enjoyed a relaxed day – visiting the Penguin Rehab centre followed by late lunch at the Harbour.

Day 5 – Another morning of being spoiled with breakfast “at home”.
Today we visited St Francis Links golf course. Yes the Gateway to and from the Garden Route. This is a must play golf course – the scenic views on and off the golf course is magical! The Golf Course is lush green, well manicured and friendly staff all around – just smiles! I was very impressed with the Clubhouse and its facilities! Thank you Jeff and Liezl Clause for hosting us and a special thank you to Leely for the tour!!
In closing, we highly recommend a stop off and stay at Tsitsikamma (min. stay of 2 nights) to explore and enjoy the activities.
Cape St Francis certainly proved why it is the Gateway to and from the Garden Route – St Francis Links golf course a must play – for packages on the above areas CLICK HERE
Dear Mariska
Euan and Seumus are driving back from the most spectacular weekend ever. Not only was the accommodation first class, but the arrangements you made for their golf exceeded all expectations. Could you please convey their thanks and appreciation to the owners of the guest house.
Without a doubt they will be back, we will check when Seumus has university holidays as we are hoping it will coincide with your March programme.
Thank you so much for everything, you lead the pack when it comes to top notch service.

Dear Mariska
We have just returned to London after a wonderful golf holiday on the Garden Route.
As usual your organisation was faultless and the whole holiday was a seamless experience. We are now trying to adjust to freezing temperatures in UK.
Once again thank you for your superbly organised holiday.

Many thanks Mariska for your arrangements, we had a fantastic time and all the accommodation was superb, a special mention for the Overmeer Guest house which is fantastic. Debbie and I may do another one next year and we will definitely contact you

Dear Mariska
Many Many thanks for our most successful holiday. We enjoyed every moment except the one when we had to leave. Now we are at our cottage 600 km north of Espoo where we live. Our first day on skis is over and we start soon to celebrate Christmas. We decided that we will come back next November. I hope that we can rely on Your good sevices.
Meanwhile we wish You a merry Christmas and happy New Year.

Mariska, jy was ‘n ster, dankie vir wat jy alles vir ons gedoen het.
Laat weet my van enige skade wat ons by Ambleside of in die dorp aangerig het sodat ek kan goedmaak!
As daar geld oor is wil ek he jy moet ‘n ekstra R 1000 vir jou moeites uithou.
Weereens dankie. Sien uit na ‘n volgende keer.

viewHi Mariska,
We are back home in UK now, had a great time in SA and everything went well with our golf in the Garden Route, although we managed to change our golf days at Pinnacle Point and George due to ‘torrential downpours’………..much needed I know but it did rain for 5 of the 6 days we were there……though not when we played golf,so all was well.
We will certainly consider using your company again when visiting SA although we might choose different accommodation. The Golf Lodge and Town Lodge were very nice but didn’t quite meet our needs…..but it was all very good value.
Best regards
John
