Simbavati Fynbos on Sea

With a scenic vantage point overlooking beaches, ocean and pristine fynbos reserve, Simbavati Fynbos on Sea couldn’t be more aptly named. Located near the picturesque coastal town of Sedgefield, along South Africa’s iconic Garden Route, the lodge immerses you in the serenity of its natural surroundings and encourages you to wind down and embrace the joy of slow travel.

There are just nine rooms and suites, plus a private, self–contained cottage, all of which make the most of the calming sea and mountain views with outdoor terraces and floor–to–ceiling windows. The interiors are simple yet cosy, to fit the relaxed vibe of the property.

There are a number of nature based activities to fill your time here, including guided fynbos walks, 4×4 nature drives, mountain biking and farm tours. On the water, you can try guided kayaking, a sunset barge cruise, or get a birds–eye view of the coastline by paragliding off the cliffs at nearby Gerickes Point Lookout. This scenic spot is also a great place for evening sundowners or whale watching during July – November.
