More about our tranquil village:
At the end of the Gourits River lies a tranquil, seaside holiday town and part
of the beautiful Western Cape - Garden Route. Ideal form those who need a break
from the city life, but still within an hours drive to one.
Gourits was named after the Gouriqua Khoikhoi people that lived in the area. The
Gourits River is the principal river in the southern Cape. The N2 national road
and the railway line both cross the Gourits River over a gorge 65m deep and 75m
wide. Both sides of the ravine are covered with aloes that look beautiful when
they flower.
Gouritsmond is situated at the mouth of the Gourits River. It is centrally
situated in between Cape Town and Knysna. This location makes it possible to
visit a large number of popular tourist attractions within a day's trip. These
include the famous Gourits bridge bungie, the Reins Nature Reserve and cities
like, Cape Town, Mosselbay, George
(about 100 km, or 1 hour's driving).
Gouritsmond has a moderate climate with an average rain fall of 350 mm per year.
57% of the rain fals from April to September. The two primary wind directions
are south west and south east. Temperature varies from 6 - 25 degrees Celcius in
winter and 10 - 28 degrees Celcius in summer.
Fishing in the area is good and fish is abundant in the area. Famous fishing
spots include "The Fisheries", "Bull Point" and "Kaap Vacca". Leervis, White
Steenbras, Kob, Grunter, and Elf are found here. The Kabeljou will sometimes
swim into the estuaries to feed on the Mullet. Gouritsmond is recommended for
the powerboat fisherman and a launch ramp is available.
A walk along the beach front or on the rocks at low tide is a treat for the
family. The swimming area is safe and there is a tidal pool along a rocky
stretch of beach. Hiking trails are also available along the lagoon side.
Our fauna is very important to all living at Gouritsmond. Guinea Fowl, peasant
and kiewiets are common visitors in our gardens. For early morning rises, a
special treat of buck and rabbit are can be experienced. Tortoises enjoy the
freedom of wandering in the roads. The abundance of bird life is an amazing
experience.

casino, restaurants, shark (cage) diving, game farms and plenty more can be done
