Hotels on the Garden Route The Garden Route is universally known for its spectacular natural beauty. The journey crosses magnificent mountain passes, winds gently along the unspoiled coastline and ventures deep into the breath-taking state forest in the Tsitsikamma National Park. The Garden Route takes in some of the country's finest seaside resorts, such as Plettenberg Bay and Knysna, with its giant sandstone "heads" framing the entrance to the tidal lagoon. Moving inland you will see the greenness fading into the stark semi-arid Karoo region where you can see the ice formations of the Cango Caves and the "Ostrich Capital" of Oudtshoorn.
