Welcome to a showcase of the spectacular scenery of the Outeniqua Mountains, where rolling fields meet the ocean. Having not (yet) been discovered by the tourist hoards, Groot Brakrivier, with its cycling and hiking routes, could easily be described as the Garden Route's best-kept secret. Nestled approximately halfway between George and Mossel Bay, it's a small town with big things to offer. It is a firm favourite with fans of the great outdoors, who make the most of the picturesque beaches as well as the fishing and boating opportunities. It's also a town renowned for its artists, crafters and hobbyists.
A brief history of the area
In 1845, Richard Searle from Surrey in England moved to South Africa to work for the Central Road Board. Together with his brother and sister-in-law, Richard was the founder of Groot Brakrivier, which became an entity in 1859. Thanks to the Searle family's efforts, a range of accommodation options were established in the area. Shops, shoemakers and timber businesses soon also made their home in Groot Brakrivier.
