Stilbaai is situated on the coast of the Southern Cape - a beautiful seaside resort known for its scenic beauty and peaceful atmosphere. Together with nearby Jongensfontein and Melkhoutfontein, the area attracts people from all over the country, especially during the warm dry summer months. Visitors are offered wide open spaces, a tranquil river, white sandy beaches and the weather in which to enjoy it all - moderate days and still, languid evenings.

Neighbourhood information

Inverroche Distillery is a family owned, artisan distillery located just outside Stilbaai. Inverroche is the first gin distillery in South Africa, and the only one that focuses exclusively on making gin from traditional fynbos. Another point of interest is the old fish-traps that the Stilbaai locals use to catch fish. These traps are no more than stonewalls constructed between the high water and low-water marks. When the tide gets low, the fish are trapped in the pools and are easily caught. Blombos Cave is an archaeological site located in Blombosfontein Nature Reserve, 24 km west of Stilbaai. The cave contains Middle Stone Age deposits currently dated at between c. 100,000 and 70,000 years before present (BP), and a Late Stone Age sequence. The Blombos Museum of Archaeology, located in Stilbaai in the historic de Jagerhuis opstal. This little specialised museum is dedicated to presenting to the public, the stone age history of the area and specifically, the findings at the Blombos cave. The displays include descriptive panels and stone tool artefacts of the earlier, middle and later stone age and artefacts from the Blombos cave itself,
