Rental in Stilbaai
Stilbaai (Still Bay) is the quiet corner of this coastline — unspoilt beaches, ancient stone fish traps, and a Goukou River estuary, about 1h20 from George Airport past Mossel Bay.

The route to Stilbaai runs west along the N2 through Hartenbos and Mossel Bay before turning south on the R327 — open, easy driving with long sightlines across farmland before the road drops back to the coast. It's further out than Knysna or Plett in the other direction, and noticeably quieter once you arrive, which is exactly the appeal for guests looking to get off the more touristed stretch of the Garden Route.
Stilbaai is best known for its stone-walled fish traps built into the tidal rocks — among the oldest surviving structures of their kind on the coast — along with long, uncrowded beaches and the Goukou River, good for kayaking and stand-up paddling. It's a slower-paced town than Mossel Bay or Knysna, with fewer big attractions and more just being on the water.
Collection is at George Airport (illy Express) — reserve online with a R500 refundable deposit, settle the balance on collection. Given the distance, consider an overnight stay rather than a rushed day trip.
