Sedgefield Stories

So I would like to know, why you chose to live here? What memorable holiday did you have here? What do you remember when you've gone back to your busy life somewhere else? Is it the friendliness of the locals, the breath-taking scenery or the sense of peace and tranquility?

I love it for all the reasons mentioned above and because people have time for each other here - in little ways, time to chat in a shop, drop in to have coffee, or chat in the street.

What is it you most like to do here?

My story began when we booked in at Placid Waters timeshare in the early 1980's. I realised then what a beautiful piece of the Garden Route was hidden from sight by the shops and houses lining the N2 highway. Crossing the Swartvlei when travelling from Wilderness to Knysna gives you only an inkling of its loveliness. I knew from the first time we explored Sedgefield properly on that holiday that I wanted to live here some day.

"God gives all men all earth to love,
Buts since man's heart is small,
Ordains for each one spot shall prove
Beloved over all." - Rudyard Kipling

I’d love to hear about Sedgefield’s early days from people who lived here in the 50’s or earlier times, those who remember what it was like holidaying here as children, before electricity, tapped water and tarred roads.

So....please go right ahead, put pen to paper and tell me your Sedgefield story!
