How They Dazzle Us

The Garden Route is one of South Africa's most popular tourist routes. Lush indigenous forests, beautiful oceans and scenic mountain passes and gorges make it a must-do trip for most people who spend time in South Africa. But it is not just the area, it is this Landing that is amazing, a gem at the end of the rainbow if you will. Situated on a rocky headland this Landing is the ultimate South African seaside escape. This luxury hotel, boasts 35 beautifully appointed rooms and two villas, allowing it to showcase the most breath-taking vistas in Southern Africa, with views of the ocean, mountains and endless stretches of golden sand.

Why We Love Them

This Landing offers ultimate luxury and spectacular, ocean views. For lovers of active, outdoor lifestyles, this part of the world has it all. There are so many missions and activities to partake in that it could keep you going for a month. From beach related things like surfing, skim-boarding and diving to fishing and kayaking. There is parachuting, golf and hiking as well. But without a doubt the highlight of the area is bungee jumping – the world's highest commercial jump at the Bloukrans River Bridge, which is 216m high, is the place for local thrill seekers and a trip that really should be experienced.
