Sir Lowry's Pass offers spectacular views over False Bay, and the scenic N2 highway sweeps down into our valley, winding through the forests and the historic Houw Hoek Pass. This fertile valley has been sought after since long before the first formal road was built in 1830, with the first farmers trekking over the hazardous mountains by ox wagon to stake their claims in this then remote valley. Today the region is world famous for its fruit trees, cool-climate wines and roses and it is an integral part of the Four Passes Fruit Route. Elgin offers healthy natural entertainment for every taste: private game reserves, nature walks, birding, 4x4 routes, quad-biking, mountain-biking, waterskiing, motorised water sports, bass and trout fishing, abseiling, kloofing, hiking, canoeing and team-building and its associated activities. A variety of sports facilities, such as golf, rowing, fly-fishing, cricket, rugby, soccer, bowls, tennis and squash entice the visitor to enjoy every day in our green valley. An important social upliftment program, run by the DBSA, is being implemented in nearby Grabouw. This makes the region one of the leaders in applying a holistic approach to development.

Background Information : Situated one kilometer from L’Aghulas, the southernmost tip of Africa, Struisbaai is one of the Cape's best kept secrets. This small, picturesque coastal village boasts the longest white coastline in the Southern Hemisphere, ideal for safe bathing, boating and watersports. The migrating southern right whale herds pass this hospitable coast to mate and calve in the secluded enclaves along the shoreline, making Struisbaai an imperative destination forthe nature lover. Struisbaai is particularly well known for its excellent fishing There is some debate as to the origin of the name Struisbaai. Some authorities believe that it means 'strawbay' and it earned this name by the fishermen's cottages that were originally built of straw. Others claim the name Struisbaai is derived from the Dutch vogelstruijs or 'ostrich'. The low shrub-covered terrain bordering the sandy coast is certainly ostrich country and you will still see a good number of these giant birds sharing the land with dairy cattle and merino sheep. According to legend, Struisbaai is named for the size of its beach - an old Nederland word for "huge". Major Attractions : - Visit the southern-most tip of Africa at Aghulhas, the official position of the tip is 34° 49' 58" south and 20° 00' 12" east. A cairn marks the tip's exact position.

Some of the cottages are now used as holiday homes and have all been declared as national monuments. They are oftenfeatured in the paintings of many South African artists.

Most of the old cottages were allowed to fall into ruin, until recently when the original cottages have been expertly restored. - The famous Aghulhas lighthouse, a very popular attraction, was built to aid the early explorers on their passage of the rough seas off Cape Aghulhas. It is the second oldest working lighthouse in Southern Africa. Stone mined from the adjacent limestone quarry provided the raw materials for its construction. The building also houses a unique lighthouse museum and restaurant. Remains of ancient stone fish traps used by the Khoe Khoe people can be seen to the east of the lighthouse. - Shell shops are a must visit for the shell collector and browser. Collectors and casual beachcombers prize the delicate shell of the Argonaut alike.
