Tsitsikamma House sits right where the Garden Route begins — or ends, depending on which way you’re travelling. Coming from Port Elizabeth, our oceanfront home in Eersterivierstrand is your gateway into the Garden Route proper; coming from George, it’s your last stop before the road turns back east. Either direction, we’re perfectly placed as a stopover on your Garden Route road trip — just off the N2, yet a world away from the crowds.

Home to the World’s Best Road Trip

And it’s a road trip worth savouring. In April 2026, the Garden Route was named the best road trip in the world in a global ranking by Autotrader, scoring 90.6 out of 100 for its road quality, scenery, weather, visibility and overall driving experience (read more via SANParks). Staying with us means experiencing the very stretch of coastline that helped earn that title, without ever straying far from your route.

Explore the Wilder Side of the Tsitsikamma Coast

Most visitors see the Garden Route from the N2. Staying at Tsitsikamma House lets you go further — into the more secluded, untouched corners of the region and the dramatic Tsitsikamma coastline that the Garden Route National Park is famous for. We’re a short drive from Tsitsikamma National Park, the Storms River Mouth suspension bridge, and the Big Tree canopy walk through ancient indigenous forest, with Nature’s Valley, Plettenberg Bay and Knysna all within easy day-trip reach. Right on our doorstep, Eersterivierstrand offers a quiet, unspoilt beach that most road-trippers never discover.

Golf, Dining and Spa on Your Doorstep

Fancy a round of golf or a lazy lunch? Fynbos Golf and Country Estate — complete with its own restaurant and spa — is just down the road from Tsitsikamma House, making it easy to combine your coastal stay with a morning on the fairways or an afternoon of pampering.

Good Fishing, Great Memories

The Tsitsikamma coastline has long been a favourite among anglers, and our stretch of it is no exception. Whether you’re casting a line off the rocks near Eersterivierstrand or heading out for a deep-sea charter along the Garden Route, the fishing here is part of what makes this coast so special.

Whether you’re road-tripping the full length of the Garden Route or looking for a peaceful base to explore the Tsitsikamma coast on its own, Tsitsikamma House offers the perfect stopover — get in touch to plan your stay.
