Since its establishment in 2012, the Garden Route Trail House has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving into the magnificent establishment it stands as today. Our journey is marked by continuous growth and innovation, setting us apart in the world of self-catering accommodations. In 2013, we proudly opened the doors to the Garden Route Trail Park, which quickly gained global recognition as one of the premier bike trail parks worldwide. Our park boasted an unparalleled feature - the highest elevation ramps of their kind globally, attracting adventure enthusiasts from far and wide. The Trail House's reputation for excellence was further cemented in 2016 when we were featured on the popular television show "Boer Soek Vrou," showcasing our unique charm to a national audience. While the Bike Trail Park operations have since concluded, we've channeled our passion for exceptional experiences into enhancing our accommodation offerings. In November 2024, we embarked on an ambitious renovation project, elevating the Trail House to new heights of luxury. We've meticulously upgraded all amenities, ensuring that every aspect of your stay exceeds expectations. From plush furnishings to state-of-the-art facilities, we've created an environment that seamlessly blends comfort with sophistication. At the Garden Route Trail House, we don't just offer accommodation; we provide an immersive experience that captures the essence of luxury amidst nature's splendor. Our dedicated team is committed to ensuring your stay is nothing short of extraordinary, combining our rich history with modern comforts to create memories that will last a lifetime.
