Oudtshoorn

Sedgefield

Sedgefield’s appeal as both a peaceful retirement destination and a fantastic spot for a family holiday is often neglected as people opt for the more well known villages such as Wilderness and Knysna, and this small village bisected by the N2 does not offer much in terms of curb appeal doing little to entice the visitor to stop and explore.
