of the Garden Route. It is situated 26 km away from the N2 main road between
Mossel Bay and Riversdale at an estuary where the Goukou river meets the
Indian Ocean. The nearest national airport is at George, 150 km from Stilbaai.
It has its own landing-strip for small aircraft and a small fishing harbour. |
| Although the popularity of Stilbaai as one
of the best tourist destinations on the Garden Route is growing at an ever-increasing
rate, it maintains its characteristics as a pollution-free, safe and peaceful
destination. It has long stretches of white sandy beaches, mild weather
and a river which is navigable for 15 km. |
