SAILS RESTAURANT



SAILS RESTAURANT One of our most beautiful Restaurants in the Wilderness. Stunning view over the
Beach and one can wave to the hang gliders when they pass by a few meters from where you are having your meal. The cocktails and tapas meals are so popular .... but just to enjoy a glass of wine and enjoy the
this incredible beautiful scenery ! Where to find them? On the N2 at the Wilderness Beach Hotel and

TREE'S


I am a member of the Wilderness Photo graphical Society and every month we have a certain theme.
This month we had to take photos of Tree's .
My first photo was taken in the farmers area just 5 km from
Wilderness on your way to the Seven Passes Road between George and Knysna and "The Big Tree" .
A Yellow Wood Tree that is more than 800 years old and in the original indigent Forrest.
Second photo was taken is just above Rinkink Beach House and it shows the Hill covered with lovely
Milkwood Trees and this one old tree ... beautiful artwork !!
Reminds me of the beautiful poem with the end phrase...
"But only God can make a tree !"

SEWEWEEKSPOORT
From Wilderness this nature wonder is a little more than two hours drive on the R62.
We enjoyed this wonderful experience in Seweweekspoort last weekend and stayed over
in the Seweweekspoort Chalets. Clean, fully equipped chalets @ only R165.00 pp with hot
shower, TV and braai facilities. One can not describe the wonder of the majestic mountains
and you even see antelope such as Kudu and Springbok and lots of Baboons. We do live in
the most wonderful part of the World !!!!

KNYSNA LOERIE

The Knysna Loerie is one of our most precious treasures of the Garden Route and you are so lucky to
see them. They are very shy and what a delight to see them when they take the air.... !!!
Beneath their wings you will see the reddest reds displayed. The one on the photo is feasting on the
fruit of the wild Fig tree. This photo was taken in the Wilderness National Park , only 3 km from Rinkink.
