Lake Pleasant Holiday Resort

Lake Pleasant Holiday Resort sits on the shores of Groenvlei lake near Sedgefield, along South Africa's Garden Route.

Sedgefield's only privately owned self-catering and camping resort, it has been managed by the Hennessy-Lidstone family for three generations and traces its history to the late 18th century.

The resort offers 55 large, level, lawned caravan and camping sites alongside timber cottages.

Activities include rowing boats and canoes for hire, bass fishing, private mooring, an outdoor swimming pool, squash, tennis, a fitness centre, birding, and a playground.

A restaurant, pub, takeaway, and on-site shop are available, with the beach roughly 3 km away. The resort is malaria-free, and small dogs are welcome by prior arrangement with seasonal restrictions.

Access is off the N2, approximately 2 km east of Sedgefield, via tar road to the entrance and gravel internal roads.
