Historical Reflections Of The Gamtoos Ferry Hotel

The need to build houses at Jeffrey's Bay and St. Francis, as well as the transport riders created a need to find an easier method to cross the Gamtoos river. During the 18th and early 19th century, before any bridges were built, the area was the crossing point for ox wagons transporting from the Western Cape to the Hinterland. Hence it was natural that the Gamtoos Hotel was established as this important convergence point.

Rooms

The rooms at the Gamtoos Ferry Hotel have been tastefully furnished for a cozy and homely feel.

The rooms overlook the majestic Gamtoos river, and hours could be spend, soaking up the splendid views from the riverside balconies, or having a warm campfire or braai at the riverside.
