About Joan's Place

Joan's Place is a rustic beach house - so if you want luxury it's not for you, but it is very functional, with everything you need in a self catering vacation home.

The house has fantastic river frontage, is out of the wind, relaxing and peaceful; a complete haven for the outdoor person. We are five minutes' walk to the beach if you prefer the sea and there is food fishing in front of the house. The perfect place to kick back and relax is on the verandah with a cold one, whilst the barbeque fire is blazing in front of the river.

Self Catering Accommodation

The house sleeps up to nine in four bedrooms (five single beds, two double beds). The house has a family bathroom (with bath and toilet), a shower room and another two separate toilets. There are also servant facilities with an en suite bathroom.

There is a lounge, dining room, kitchen, store room and games room. The kitchen is equipped with a kettle, toaster, iron, stove, microwave, two fridges, a freezer and a washing machine. Linen and towels are provided.

There is a large covered deck as well as a private garden and a braai facilities. Wood for one braai is provided. A DVD player is provided, as is a TV and a table tennis table. Satellite TV is available on request.

The house is perfect for children of all ages and is also suitable for people with minimal restricted mobility but not for people in wheelchairs as there are stairs to the bedrooms.

Additional Facilities

Off street parking outside the house is available and pets are allowed. Please make sure you smoke outside and definitely not in the upstairs rooms. We are only 500m from the beach and 5km to the Great Brak village.

A holiday here is a real Garden Route experience. We are close to nine top class golf courses, as well as many Garden Route towns like Knysna, Plettenberg Bay, Oudtshoorn and Mossel Bay.

Activities and Attractions

The Garden Route is world renowned as one of the most beautiful areas in South Africa, offering magnificent views and warm water beaches, a mild climate, beautiful mountain ranges close by and natural charm. There is a local airport in George, but should you prefer to drive, the area is approximately four hours from Cape Town (on the west) and Port Elizabeth (Eastern Cape).

Great Brak is centrally situated in the Garden Route, halfway between George and Mossel Bay. There are two parts to the town; the small village itself nestles in a valley surrounded by wooded hills, and consists of a single horseshoe road from which you can access everything you would need.

The village has a basic supply store, several butcheries and some utterly charming lunch and tea venues, some displaying locally produced artworks and clothing. Great Brak is the centre of art in the Garden Route and there are four art galleries and an art school. Beautiful hikes and cycling trails abound, and of course one can take a canoe up the Great Brak River which flows through the town.
