During the kids' school holiday in July we stayed two nights at the Brenton On Sea Cottages. Before check-in time, we went down to the Knysna Waterfront to look around and grab a bite to eat. Knysna is one of the most picturesque stops along South Africa's scenic Garden Route.

Brenton-on-Sea

Family Holiday South Africa

Familienurlaub Südafrika

During the kids' school holiday in July we stayed two nights at the Brenton On Sea Cottages. It was difficult to find self-catering accommodation for a family of six that was also affordable. Hubby found this place on the internet. Since it's winter this time of the year in South Africa, we payed winter rates. I think we would have missed this stunning beach on our trip through the Garden Route if it hadn't been for our booking.

Our cottage was really close to the beach. We had a view of the water from our windows. There were three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a small kitchen and living room. Every morning our cottage was serviced. You can see from the photos on my last post, The Beach at Brenton-on-Sea, and today's photos how special our time was.

Knysna at Night

On our last morning at Brenton-on-Sea we spotted a doe with her fawn. A buck soon appeared on the scene, but the doe seemed threatened by his presence. The fawn moved away from its mother to get at a safe distance from the buck. We got out of the way, as we did not want to get between the fawn and its mother.

Just a forty minute drive from the beautiful beach at Wilderness is the stunning beach at Brenton-on-Sea. This is a stop on the Garden Route you don't want to miss!

We spent two days here enjoying the views during the month of July, which is wintertime in South Africa. You can see by the way we're dressed that the wind was cold. One morning it rained, but it cleared in time for us to do some sightseeing.
