Rental in Sedgefield
Known locally as the "slowest town in South Africa," Sedgefield sits between Swartvlei Lake and the Goukamma Nature Reserve — an easy 40-minute cruise from George Airport, and one of the most relaxed stops on the whole Garden Route.

55 km
Drive Time
~40 minutes
The N2 out to Sedgefield is where the Garden Route starts to open up — long straights along Swartvlei Lake, glimpses of the Indian Ocean through the trees, and a slower pace that suits a convertible with the top down and no particular hurry. It's a favourite for weekend regulars who fly into George and want a lake, a beach, and a market all within walking distance of each other.
Once you're there, Swartvlei's estuary is one of the best paddling and kite-surfing spots on the coast, the Goukamma Nature Reserve offers dune and forest trails right on the ocean, and Sedgefield's famous Saturday market (Wild Oats Community Farmers Market) is worth timing your visit around. The drive out and back on the N2 is scenic enough on its own to justify the trip — a proper Garden Route morning behind the wheel.
Collection is at George Airport (illy Express) — book online, pay a R500 refundable deposit, and settle the balance when you collect. Most guests are on the N2 toward Sedgefield within the hour.
