The Breede being one of the largest rivers in the country is an absolute paradise. Situated only 38 kilometres from Swellendam in the Overberg, it is only a short journey from Cape Town or George areas. It is the perfect, relaxing getaway for nature lovers and keen fishermen. It is recognised as the best fishing estuary in South Africa and is also home to an abundance of bird species and wildlife.
The beauty of the area is something everyone should see. There is always plenty to do on the Breede. Boating is very popular, as you can sail all the way down to the sea for excellent fishing, or just to admire the breath taking views. All kinds of water sport are enjoyed, such as skiing, tubing and canoe trips. Young and old alike will love the beaches along the river. Enjoy a real farm breakfast or light lunch at the local Trading Post or a pizza at the popular Boathouse Pub. The local hotel offers a 3 course dinner. Stock up on supplies at the Trading Post and Malgas Dop Shop. Hot bread, local lamb and cold beer! Cross the river with the pont (ferry) for a day trip to Witsand at the Breede River mouth. The Pont is the last surviving hand driven pontoon. Visit the beautiful De Hoop Nature Reserve for some whale watching. Scroll through all our rentals, and choose the best one to suit your needs.
