The slow town between George and Knysna.
Sedgefield sits exactly halfway between George and Knysna, on the vlei – a lakes system that runs behind the dunes all the way to the sea. It is the quietest stop on the route and it has spent twenty years resisting the development the towns either side of it took on.
Where to stay in Sedgefield
Self-catering and small guesthouses, mostly. People come here to be left alone, and the accommodation reflects it.
Where to eat and drink
The Saturday farmers’ market at Wild Oats is the town’s institution – it runs on Saturday mornings and it is why a lot of people drive out from Knysna.
What to do
Myoli Beach and Gericke’s Point for swimming and walking, the vlei for birding and flat water, and the dunes behind the beach for anyone who wants the walk without the crowd.
