Rental in Jeffreys Bay
Jeffreys Bay is world-famous for one thing above all — Supertubes, one of the best right-hand waves on the planet — reached via a 2h20 drive from George Airport through the Tsitsikamma forests.
Distance from George Airport
215 km
Drive Time
~2h20
Jeffreys Bay sits just past St Francis Bay at the far end of the same long N2 run through Knysna, Plettenberg Bay and the Tsitsikamma forests — the longest drive in our service area, and one best treated as the finale of a multi-day Garden Route road trip rather than a there-and-back day. The forest section alone, crossing the Storms River and Bloukrans gorges, is worth the drive on its own.
The town itself is a genuine surfing pilgrimage site — Supertubes regularly ranks among the best right-hand point breaks in the world and has hosted World Surf League events for decades. Even for non-surfers, the beaches, dunes, and laid-back town centre make it worth the distance, and it pairs naturally with a stop in St Francis Bay given how close the two are.
Collection is at George Airport (illy Express) — book online with a R500 refundable deposit, settle the balance on collection. Given the distance, build this into a longer Garden Route itinerary rather than a single long day.
