Kleinmond (meaning: ‘little river mouth’), is a picturesque seaside village situated at the foot of the Kogelberg Mountains. It lies next to a lagoon at the small mouth - hence the name - of the Bot River, on a narrow strip of land. Kleinmond is flanked by the Kogelberg Mountain range on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other side. This very peaceful little village, endowed with some of the coast's most natural beauty, will mean you can enjoy some of the most beautiful landscapes and seascapes.
