Description : | GALASHIELS LODGE VILLAGE The quaint Victorian village of Stanford, nestled on the banks of the Klein River, is one of the unspoilt gems of the Overberg. There is always something different to be found around every corner : whether you explore the village on foot or bicycle, or whether you enjoy a trip down the river where over 120 bird species await your discovery. The magnificent mountainous surround is conducive to the creativity of many of the craftspeople on and around Stanford. To add value to the relaxing “Stanford experience” we offer mountain, riverine and waterfall hiking in the surrounding area’s as well as horse riding, cycling, canoeing and packed picnic hampers for whale watching. We are 20 kms drive from Hermanus the whale watching mecca and 20km drive from DeKelders, an undiscoved whale watching gem.
