A visit to Franskraal is akin to travelling back in time. It is unpretentious and the way of life that residents have come accustomed to is uncomplicated and slow-moving. Tourists exploring the village are likely to spend their days outside. There are plenty of views to marvel over and a beach to either bask in the sunshine, or an ocean to paddle one’s feet in.
The seaside village is located on the outskirts of Gansbaai with the neighbouring town of Klein Baai found to the east.
Upon your entry into the town, you’ll see rows of white-washed cottages which speak of a bygone era. Adjacent to these cottages is a milkwood-dominated forest where nature-lovers can amble through on a lazy afternoon. The marked ‘Melkhartbos Trail’ is easy to follow, and takes you into the heart of the forest. The distance of the route is approximately two kilometres and will take you an hour to finish if you’re walking at a slow, meandering pace. Enjoy the sounds of silence and be on the lookout for a diverse array of plant and bird species.
If you’re looking to learn about the history or cultural happenings of the village, the Standveld Museum is positioned near the Franskraal cliffs. Not only will you learn interesting tidbits, but you’ll view the remnants of a shipwreck – the HMT Birkenhead which ran aground at Danger Point in 1852. The museum is run by local historians who know everything there is to know about the village, and will gladly divulge their in-depth knowledge to all those who are interested.
Horseback riding is popular in close by Gansbaai, where many trails are available at all difficulty levels – so if it’s your first time on the back of these majestic beasts – feel assured knowing you’re in safe hands. Horse riders have the option of walking, trotting or galloping through the forest or on the beach. The Klipgat Caves found nearby are worthy of a quick visit too. These caves are steeped in history, having been inhabited by our ancestors over 80 000 years ago.
If you like to live on the edge, go down under with Shark Cage Diving Unlimited. The diving is managed by Mike Ruthern and is the shark diving spot of choice for major celebrities, including Brad Pitt and Prince Harry.
Culture enrichment, adventurous outdoors activities and picturesque views are not the only attractions of Franskraal, but holiday accommodation grants you a ‘home-away-from-home’ feel during your stay at the various establishments in the area.
