Holmeleigh Farmyard

Summer Vacation traveling to Port Elizabeth via the Garden Route

We spent our summer holiday traveling from Cape town to Port Elizabeth via he garden route. Along the way as usual we stopped for a stretch at Buffeljags BP, just past Swellendam. They have a large lawn, good food and some farm animals to entertain the kids.

We spent a couple of days in Wilderness before heading through to Port Elizabeth. In Wilderness we visited the famous map of Africa viewing point and spent time on the beautiful beach before giving gifts on Christmas Eve.

Christmas day we headed for Port Elizabeth and handed out more gifts with family. We mostly spent quality time with loved ones. Humewood beach, PE's blue flag beach is fantastic for kids with a safe tidal pool and plenty of shelter. Also a great spot to Snorkeling.

Holmeleigh Farm has been a staple in Port Elizabeth since my childhood years and still remains a favourite for kids.

With the family being water babies, we naturally spent a lot of time in the pool, the same pool I learned to swim in 30 years ago.

Heading back we made a quick stop at the Stormsriver bridge before breaking the trip in Mosselbay where we stayed a night at the beautiful Pinnacle Point golf estate.

Heading back home we did the Buffeljags stop once again followed by a quick respite outside Worcester at the newly renovated Shell Ultra City, another worth while stop for more than fuel.
