Stilbaai
The
treasure of nature unique to Still Bay (Stilbaai) has attracted
visitors of South Africa and The Garden
Route to this Bay of Sleeping Beauty for centuries. The
unique limestone area with it's abundance of natural springs,
provided the ideal habitat for ancient man, whose footprints still
linger here in South Africa.
For
close on two hundred years Stilbaai has grown in favour as a holiday
resort and retirement village for those charmed by the safety,
tranquility and harmony in this Garden Route Town.
Our Garden Route Tours do not specifically stop
or include this town, but should you insist to include it in your
any of your tours, just ask and we'll see what
we can do.
It
has long stretches of white sandy beaches, mild weather and a
river which is navigable for 15 km. The weather is ideal for holiday
making with moderate temperatures, and beautiful sunshine days.
Stilbaai
offers wonderful water-sport facilities including fishing, scuba-diving
and lots more as well as other types of sport and tours.
It
has a population of about 4000 permanent residents and also has
two villages, Jongensfontein and Melkhoutfontein, within its boundary.
In
line with what the tourist expects Stilbaai offers a wide variety
of shopping amenities ranging from well-stocked modern supermarkets
and convenience stores to smaller family-run concerns. Service
providers such as the medical profession, ie doctors, dentists,
a clinic and pharmacies are also available.
