Nature's Valley

One of the most spectacular areas of South Africa, Nature's Valley lies at the bottom of the Groot River Gorge where the pristine river opens into a spectacular lagoon before gently flowing into the sea. This is an isolated naturally peaceful area with a small shop, church, a South African National Parks' Board office offering camping facilities, a stunning lagoon and the most incredible pristine beach. Spectacularly beautiful, Nature's Valley is uniquely established within the Tsitsikamma National Park.

Houses for sale at Nature's Valley are rare and always in great demand. Most homes are held within the same families for many years. No further residential development may take place within the Park and the scarcity factor results in Nature's Valley property selling at a premium.

Access to Nature's Valley is via the N2 National Highway between Port Elizabeth and Plettenberg Bay, just 34kms from Plettenberg Bay as one approaches the quaint village called The Crags. The stunning Groot River Pass, built by Italian Prisoners of War, winds its way down from the escarpment through the most spectacular forested ravines to the beach where the small village of Nature's Valley is home to approximately 400 mostly log style homes. Buck and other small animals roam freely amongst the homes whose owners are encouraged not to erect fences.

The surrounding areas of Nature's Valley and in particular the plateau above the valley is popular for dairy farming and forestry, and there are a number of backpacker lodges, self-catering guest houses and bed & breakfast establishments. The N2 National Road passes over the Groot River Bridge, and proceeds to the nearby Bloukrans River Bridge where a private company operates the world's highest bungee jump facility.

Nature's Valley is a true holiday paradise or retirement haven for the fortunate few
