Area Information:Located between George and Knysna, traveling on a corrugated dirt road for about 10km on the Garden Route and 490 km from Cape Town, Sedgefield is a beautiful seaside village surrounded entirely by lakes, sand dunes covered in fynbos, pine plantations, the Swartvlei Lake and the Indian Ocean.
Described by some as a sleepy little village, Sedgefield borders the Goukamma Nature Reserve and the Wilderness National Park, leaving the visitor spoilt for choice when it comes to bird watching and walks through indigenous fauna and flora.
Groenvlei Lake, the only fresh water lake in the district, lies to the east of Sedgefield and is popular for its Bass fishing. The lake forms part of the Goukamma Nature Reserve, which stretches from the river of the same name all the way to Buffalo Bay, and has some of the highest vegetated sand dunes in the country.

Sedgefield Reviews
Enjoyed everything, the slow pace, nature, canoeing on the lake. The stay at Lake Pleasant was awesome! Will definitely return for a longer stay.
It a cool place and not busy and not far from N2.
From the arrival, till leaving the next day on a business overnight stay, I can only say one thing. FABULOUS...Thanx for a good night's rest.
It's a beautiful part of the country and the people are friendly
Quaint shops, easily accessible, access to garages, drs , vets etc.
Farmers' Market; visiting the Lakes; close to Wilderness.
The Market is an great experience every time.
