Bruce's is the name of the famous surfing spot just down the road from the house. It is also the name of the coffee shop at Granny's Pool. A great place to start your day, something we do often.

Day trip
This is adventurous drive through a game reserve, and is part of the Cape Floristic Region World Heritage Site
A trip through the park will take a full day, and you do need a 4x4 or off-road/adventure bike to do that. We did the drive a day or two after heavy rain...was an interesting experience.
