Area Info
Tucked away in a fertile, verdant valley and encircled by the Outeniqua Mountains, forests, rivers, and prosperous farmlands, George is situated 420 km from Cape Town and 320 km from Port Elizabeth, making it a perfect base for exploring the Garden Route.
As the administrative capital of the Southern Cape, George is a bustling town with modern infrastructure. Once an industrial centre, it has evolved into a key tourist destination, partly due to two of South Africa’s top ten golf courses, theatres, vast forests, rivers, and its proximity to the Indian Ocean. Although the area was only explored in 1688—long after Dias landed in Mossel Bay in 1488 in search of food and fresh water—the Khoi people who lived in this fertile valley referred to it as Outeniqualand, or the "land of milk and honey," a name that perfectly reflects its lush landscape. A settlement was established in 1811 and named George Town in honour of the reigning English monarch.
George has always had a laid-back, easygoing charm that allows visitors to fully appreciate its natural beauty. Hiking trails around the town offer sweeping views of both the town and the coastline, as well as a chance to experience the unique indigenous Fynbos. Notable trails include the Groene Weide forest walks, which begin at Saasveld College near one of the golf courses, and the more challenging George Peak and Cradock's Peak trails, which reward hikers with breathtaking panoramic views.
