In Toto welcomes you to retreat to our individually styled six room guest house located in the heart of the Garden Route, an iconic tourism destination in South Africa. Relax and meet other guests in our courtyard or at the breakfast table.
Reconnect with family and friends and enjoy a “braai” or a home-made pizza evening around the large round table under the vines of our courtyard veranda when you book In Toto for your exclusive use.
We are situated in the tranquil town of Sedgefield on the shores of the Swartvlei Estuary, one of a series of lakes located in the Wilderness area of the Garden Route National Park.
Slow down and chill on one of the four beaches within easy reach, at the pool deck or take a slow paddle in one of our canoes or stand up paddle boards on the Swartvlei Lagoon. Explore the many wonders of nature right on our doorstep, whether hiking, biking, birding, taking a scenic drive or snorkeling to find the Knysna Seahorse. Active adventurers can indulge in adrenalin filled activities including paragliding, kite surfing, surfing or bungy jumping from the Bloukrans Bridge.
Meet local artists and artisans, farmers, chefs, crafters and storytellers at the popular Saturday Wild Oats Community Farmers Market, the Scarab Village Craft Market, Mosaic Village and Outdoor Market and Timberlake Village.
We strive to be a leader in regenerative tourism leaving footprints that positively impact on the Garden Route for future visitors and generations. We buy our supplies from local businesses and partner with like-minded people and organisations actively working to revitalise and regenerate our environment, local communities and economies.
We look forward to welcoming you to an all-encompassing ‘In Toto’ stay on the Garden Route!
