Based in Oubaai you will be well placed to explore the many delights of the Garden Route . Maybe take a drive over to the Little Karoo via one of the many beautiful mountain passes . The Outeniqua Pass is scenic and reliable , but a little ordinary , while the Montagu Pass is slower but well worth it . It ’ s the oldest unchanged pass in the country , having enjoyed only minimal maintenance since it was completed in 1848 . It ’ s a trip back into time . Or drive into Knysna via the “ Seven Passes ” route – the original , skinny , twisty little ancestor of the N2 . Go surfing in Victoria Bay , shopping in George , sailing in Knysna , hiking in Robberg near Plett , paddling on the Wilderness Lakes or mountain biking in the fabulous Harkerville Forest , with its plethora of world-class trails . Or indulge your palate . On a Saturday , take a break from the golf course and visit the nearby Wild Oats Community Farmers ’ Market in Sedgefield , enjoy oysters in Knysna or Mossel Bay , pick strawberries near George , or explore the fine cuisine options in Knysna and Plett .
