Sedgefield now falls within the Garden Route National Park which has evolved from a new concept of “conservation without boundaries”. It offers great potential to protect the magnificent Garden Route region from damaging exploitation by establishing innovative mechanisms for allowing people with all their associated complex human activities to sustainably interact with this fragile and beautiful nature-oriented environment.

Sedgefield is the kind of place that reminds something deep within us of how life ought to be lived - more simply and serenely. It's about finding quality not in things but in experiences, and perhaps most of all, by connecting with nature! Somehow this helps us connect with each other better too! Our recently formed Slow Food Convivium orchestrated by locally retired international celebrity chef, Colin Capon reflects another way in which Sedgefield is able to promote the values of quality living.

Here you can slow down to the speed of nature feeling peace and contentment flooding your soul and oozing out your pores. You can forget for a while, the demands of your busy life and all your regular chores and responsibilities.

You can engage in many enjoyable outdoor activities. Breathe in deeply our fresh unpolluted air. Picnic next to the lagoon. Laze under an umbrella on the beach with a good book. Swim in the invigorating water. Throw a fishing line from the rocks. Canoe the rivers. Hike the nature trails. Cycle wherever your fancy takes you. Take a paragliding lesson. Explore the back roads.

Photographers - don't go anywhere without your camera! And birdwatchers, you can enjoy all of the above whilst adding to your lists! Or............you can do nothing at all! Just sit and let the peace of the place soak in!

Our only travel agent, Debbie of Sedge Travel is dedicated to helping you with any travel arrangements. All types of holiday accommodation are available from timeshare and self-catering to B&B's and caravan parks but expect no multi-storie hotels or bright city lights here. There is no organised entertainment, no shopping mall, no cinemas.

Instead, the outdoors beckons with unforgettable vistas whichever way you look. You are halted in your tracks by the shining stillness of the morning that reflects off the lagoon. Breath-taking sunsets amaze - the colours get richer as evening darkens to night.

Sandy beaches stretch for kilometers beckoning you to lengthen your stride and explore the shoreline finding caves and rocky pools and sheltered coves to while away the hours. Up on the dune cliffs, you can whale watch or delight in spotting dolphins leaping exuberantly through the surf.

Sedgefield is an ongoing parade of special moments found when we slow down to appreciate the most fundamental things. Things that really matter but don't cost money.

It's in the intrinsic value of our relationships with each other and the world around us. We need a space to rest our minds and bodies and Sedgefield can be the place providing us with the opportunity to do just that!
