Here tourists follow a self-drive route with stops at artist hideaways, studios filled with the crafts of the region, tea gardens and restaurants and even a witch doctor who will throw the bones for you. The route promotes the key attractions of the South Coast. Golf enthusiasts are also catered for, as the South Coast is also the location of no less than nine 18-hole golf courses within an hour s drive from Margate. Amongst these are the courses at Umkomaas, Port Shepstone, Southbroom, the Wild Coast golf course, and the outstanding San Lameer. Veteran coaches carry passengers from Port Shepstone along the South Coast for 7 kilometres before turning inland through ever-changing scenery to Izotsha and Paddock, where a leisurely time in the country can be spent enjoying a traditional braai under shady trees.
Trains operate daily during peak holiday season.
