Pringle Bay

The small seaside village of Pringle Bay is only one hour's drive away from Cape Town on the scenic Clarence Drive (Route 44). Named after Rear Admiral Thomas Pringle in 1797, Pringle Bay is known for its rocky shores and the "Drostersgat", a cave said to be used as a refuge by prisoners and slaves.

Situated in the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve, Pringle Bay lies in the heart of Cape Floral Kingdom, an area with the most plant species per square metre. Southern Right Whales visit the sheltered bays along this coastline from June to December to calve and nurse their offspring.

Pringle Bay is en route to Hermanus, famed for its land-based whale watching, and perfectly positioned to explore the natural diversity of the Overberg Region. A wide variety of fynbos is on display at the Harold Porter Botanical Garden, 12 km's away, and nearby Betty's Bay is home to a colony of Jackass Penguin. Popular wine routes, close to Pringle Bay, include Stellenbosch and the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley.

Pringle Bay, a quaint coastal village in the Western Cape, offers a variety of natural and cultural attractions.

Here are five must-see things in and around Pringle Bay:

  1. Pringle Bay Beach: This pristine, sandy beach is perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and beachcombing. The scenic surroundings and clear waters make it an ideal spot for a relaxing day by the sea. The beach is also great for picnics and offers beautiful sunset views.

  2. Kogelberg Nature Reserve: Just a short drive from Pringle Bay, this nature reserve is renowned for its biodiversity and stunning landscapes. It offers numerous hiking trails that traverse the unique fynbos vegetation and provide spectacular views of the mountains and coastline. The Palmiet River Trail is a favorite for its scenic beauty and swimming opportunities in natural rock pools.

  3. Stony Point Penguin Colony: Located nearby in Betty's Bay, this colony is home to one of the largest populations of African penguins. Visitors can observe these charming birds up close from a boardwalk that ensures minimal disturbance to their natural habitat. It's a fantastic spot for wildlife photography and learning about penguin conservation.

  4. Harold Porter National Botanical Garden: Also in Betty's Bay, this botanical garden features a rich variety of indigenous plants, well-maintained walking trails, and tranquil picnic spots. The garden showcases the Cape Floral Kingdom's biodiversity and is a haven for bird watchers and nature enthusiasts.

  5. Buffels River: This river flows into the ocean at Pringle Bay and offers a peaceful setting for kayaking, fishing, and bird watching. The surrounding area is perfect for leisurely walks and enjoying the serene natural environment.

These attractions highlight the natural beauty and tranquil charm of Pringle Bay, making it a perfect destination for those looking to explore the Western Cape's coastal and fynbos landscapes.

Pringle Bay has a rich history that is closely tied to the broader context of South Africa's colonial past and the development of its coastal towns. While precise historical records specific to Pringle Bay may be limited, we can piece together a general overview of its history:

  1. Indigenous Inhabitants: Before European colonization, the area around Pringle Bay was likely inhabited by indigenous Khoisan peoples who lived off the land and engaged in fishing, hunting, and gathering.

  2. Colonial Settlement: Like many coastal areas in the Western Cape, Pringle Bay became part of the Dutch colonial administration in the 17th century when the Dutch East India Company established a refreshment station at the Cape of Good Hope. Over time, European settlers arrived in the region, displacing and often coming into conflict with the indigenous populations.

  3. Farming and Fishing: In the 19th century, the region around Pringle Bay was primarily used for farming and fishing. Small-scale agriculture, including livestock farming and fruit cultivation, became common, while fishing provided a livelihood for coastal communities.

  4. Development as a Holiday Destination: Pringle Bay began to develop as a holiday destination in the 20th century, attracting visitors drawn to its natural beauty, sandy beaches, and tranquil atmosphere. Holiday homes and cottages were built, and the town gradually evolved into a popular coastal retreat for both locals and tourists.

  5. Conservation Efforts: The surrounding area, including the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve and the Cape Floral Kingdom, has been recognized for its exceptional biodiversity. Efforts to conserve and protect the unique ecosystems of Pringle Bay and its surroundings have been ongoing, with initiatives aimed at preserving the natural environment and promoting sustainable tourism.

Why the $elect Stays initiative?

  1. Encourage and boost local tourism through making holidays more affordable.
    This is achieved by offering locals a 15% saving. The same 15% that would have left our shores had it been paid as commission to an International Booking site.
  2. Reduce the dependancy on large International Booking sites.
    This is achieved by building up a loyal following of verified users who we will market to on an exclusive and regular basis to maximise the opportunity.
  3. Ensure more money stays within local tourism to benefit us all.
    It is no secret that the large International Booking sites pay no or very little tax to South Africa or Namibia. By taking back a little more control we boost our own economy, and in particular, our local tourism. This is good for us all.
    Read this article on how the Australian holiday accommodation sector is suffering in the same way.
  4. Exclusive.
    Only listings on Stays can participate, which means less competition for bookings.
How it works for accommodation-seekers:

Terms & Conditions

  1. The property (you) must offer the 15% saving to all verified members
  2. Verification is done automatically at the time of an enquiry. It is at the property’s discretion whether to offer the saving for a telephonic enquiry. (As you have no means to verify the membership number, it is advisable to get them to do a formal enquiry so they can be verified).
  3. If the property is currently running a "Special" greater than 15% then the "Special" price will apply. (No further savings needs to be offered). EXCEPT in the case where the "Special" is lower than 15%. In that case the 15% will apply.
    Example: A property offering a 10% discount, must offer an additional 5% discount to valid members - so they get a total 15% saving.
  4. The property must offer valid members the saving all year round. (Properties that pick and chose in which seasons to participate run the risk of being removed from the programme completely. Allowing selective participation defeats the integrity of this initiative).
  5. The property must not inflate the price before the 15% is applied. Prices displayed should be the rack rate. (The official or advertised price of a room).
  6. The property must honour any bookings made while the property was participating as a $elect Stays property.
  7. The property must honour the agreement and the spirit in which the initiative is designed to benefit local tourism.
