Klein Brak River Accommodation

Just east of where the Klein Brak Rivier/Little Brak River runs into the sea, lies the town of Klein Brak Rivier, named after the brackish water of the river. It has grown from just a few holiday homes into an affluent residential area, in stark contrast to the informal settlement of Powertown, its next-door neighbour. The development of this neighbouring suburb as well as some nasty accidents involving swimmers and powerboats in the past have put an almost complete stop to the water sports in the river. Fishing is still possible though, and a days catch can yield a variety of garrick, kob, grunter and white steenbras in the summer months.

The tranquil village of Great Brak River is situated on the road from Mossel Bay to George and is a popular holiday resort. The beautiful, un-spoilt beaches in the area, and the lagoon, offer safe swimming.

The presence of Southern Right and other whales from May till November is one of the towns main attractions. The river that divides the village is rich in marine life while its wooded banks offer excellent opportunities for bird watching. Follow the circular route through the village and experience the history and culture of years gone by.
