Bothashoek Hut

George's appeal as a destination hinges on visitors seeking escape from urban life—and that's what farm-stays like Bothashoek Hut provide. The area has become known for wine routes, hiking, and rural retreats, and this accommodation sits within that economy. The town itself serves as a service hub for the wider Southern Cape region, attracting people who want to experience landscape and quietness rather than city amenities. Bothashoek Hut exists because George—with its forests, proximity to the Outeniqua Mountains, and character as a working agricultural town—creates demand for this kind of immersive, slower-paced stay. It's accommodation that works precisely because of where George is, not in spite of it.
