NEWS: Final Chapter

With the year finally drawing to a close, it seems like we are finishing off the last chapter of the book of 2013. Like any good book, you anticipate the ending and keep counting those last few pages as you know there is still so much that has to happen.

Like most good stories, the book started off slow and you aren’t too sure of how things are going to unfold. But you soldier on and keep cheering on the hero/heroine and feel bad every time an obstacle appears. Depending on the book you’re reading there is also the occasional villain, but the hero/heroine battles on and keeps you on the edge of your seat. With various battles fought, obstacles overcome and dragons slain, the book comes to an end.

The last few pages tie the book together in a neat little bow, but still leaves the possibility of great things in the upcoming novel. So, here’s to the last few pages in this exciting last chapter and may they be filled with the joy and togetherness of the festive season! 

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

The end...

But just for now the story continues...
 
Heading to Gansbaai, the festive season hits you as you enter our beloved Big 2 Town. The December holiday is now officially in full swing and the holiday-makers are here en masse. With the smell of sun-tan lotion wafting through the air and Christmas lights a’twinkling, who can resist the Christmas holiday spirit?

Most businesses have now closed for the year, allowing everyone to head to their favourite town next to the coast. Lucky for us, our supermarkets have extended their shopping hours which allows for longer shopping hours and more convenience. Our friendly Tourism Bureau will also be open the entire holiday season, so be sure to stop by for more travel information.


Whether you are returning or this is your first visit to Gansbaai, there is an array of outdoor adventures to take part in and fill every available waking hour. Those wanting nothing more than relaxing and soaking up some summer sun, head down to one of our beautiful beaches. And if the last few weeks are anything to go by, definitely keep an eye on the horizon for the showcasing of the Overberg’s most spectacular views and sunsets.
