Doringbaai | West Coast simplicity at its best 🌊🍷

Tucked away along South Africa’s rugged West Coast, Doringbaai is a little fishing village made for slowing down. Think endless ocean views, colourful fishing boats, dramatic sunsets and that wonderfully windswept West Coast charm.

A must-visit is Fryer’s Cove, where you can enjoy locally produced wines right beside the Atlantic Ocean — a pretty unique West Coast experience! Add fresh seafood, birdwatching, photography and spectacular wildflowers in season, and Doringbaai is well worth adding to your West Coast road trip. 🌼🐦🍷

There’s something magical about Papendorp. 🌾🐦

Where the river meets the sea, the skies and wetlands come alive with birdlife. From graceful flamingos and avocets to countless little waders, it’s a quiet corner of the West Coast that feels wonderfully wild and untouched.

We took a scenic drive from Strandfontein to Papendorp. The tar road although much faster is nothing like the dirt road that goes along the coastline.

Strandfontein you really surprised us. Such a small town with so much character. I can see now why people go there to relax. The long stretches of beautiful Beach makes for perfect strolls and not even to mention how much the kids we saw loved this beach.

Watching the waves we saw dolphins and seals having the best time.

We will definitely be back.

Day 3 the long road to Strandfontein. We travelled through Pofadder and Springbok and lots of little towns. Arriving at our home for 2 nights in Strandfontein. What an amazing little town.

I think Pofadder's Kontrei Winkel needs a post on its own. The cutest shop 🤩🤩🤩

Augrabies National Park

What an incredible place to visit. The waterfall viewing points are great, we loved driving around the reserve and the landscape was so unusual to us. It's definitely a place we would like to visit again.

It’s already been a month since we left for our Flower Roadtrip! 🌸

We saw the most incredible places. On Day 1, we drove for about 12 hours to get to Lime Acres — a place I didn’t even know existed! We stayed at Bonza Game Farm, and the accommodation was incredible, with beautiful, decorated chalets.

The highlight for us was definitely the meerkats and ground squirrels — they absolutely made our day! 🐿️ We also saw gemsbok, springbok, blesbok, giraffe, wildebeest and eland. 🦒🦌

And that was just Day 1! 🌸✨

Another day of long hours on the road. We left Augrabies and travelled towards the coast. Visited Goegap Nature Reserve in Springbok.
