Gansbaai, the new Gauteng

Its a remarkable phenomenon in South Africa. Each year, the residents of Gauteng (most populated region in the country) stream down to the coast for their annual holidays. Each small coastal town transforms for a quaint village into a bustling metropolis virtually overnight, and Gansbaai is no different.

Today, the stream of cars began and the level of activity has risen sharply. I spoke to an employee of SAFE Security Systems today when he came to fix a remote, and he also commented on the massive influx of people, most of which are brandishing a GP numberplate.

The Roundhouse Guesthouse is situated in De Kelders, far enough away to avoid the crushing traffic, but close enough so that everything you may need is close by. A bakery and a pub/restaurant is literally within walking distance, reducing the need to fight for parking even more. Lets not forget we can organise Shark Cage diving and Whale Watching for our guests too, reducing the need to go into town even more.

It appears staying at our guesthouse really is the smart choice for the city-dweller looking for holiday without queues and traffic.
