Where are We?

Located on the popular Garden Route in the Southern Cape area of South Africa, we are 360 km from Cape Town. Outeniqua Strand (Glentana) is halfway between Mossel Bay (20 km) and George (20 km) on the Cape southern coast of the Indian Ocean. We are only 4 km off the N2 highway, and ten minutes from the George airport, from where flights to Cape Town, Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth are available.

Our self catering units are located at 4 Glasogie Ave, in the Mossel Bay municipal area known as Outeniqua Strand (Glentana) - halfway between Mossel Bay and George, which makes Treasured Views an ideal base from which to explore the coastline, the sea, the mountains, the Klein Karoo on the northern side of the mountains with its Cango Caves, ostrich farms, hot spas etc. For the better equipped traveller with a GPS handy, you can find us at co-ordinates 34.04867S and 022.28846E!

More about the region...

This region is also known as the Outeniqualand and lies at the base of the Outeniqua mountain range. The name is derived from the Khoisan who were hunter gatherer Bushmen that were indigenous to this area and means 'they who bear honey'.

The climate is mild and we do not have a specific rain season as we experience light rains throughout the year. That is why it is always green, especially in winter. Ancient and varied bushes and plants, even forests, still cover valleys, hills and mountains that are bordered by the sea.

Dolphins frolic year round in the surf, while Southern Right and Hump Back whales return each year from May till November for the annual ritual of mating and calving.

Because of the many flowers, trees, lakes and rivers there are a variety of birds that is any bird watcher's delight! The giants of the forest, namely elephants, also find their natural habitat in our region. Sadly, today they are only to be found in game reserves in the native rain forest near Knysna.
