DESCRIPTION:
 
Eveleen invites you to Buttercup in Stilbaai, a charming seaside village, just off the N2 between Riversdale and Albertinia. The Buttercup is on the beachfront where the Goukou River meets the sea. Upstairs, the luxurious en-suite bedrooms share a lounge, with a cosy fireplace and balcony. Downstairs are another 2 en-suite bedrooms with a kitchenette, lounge and patio. Breakfast is a treat, with picnic baskets on request.

Situated on the coast of the Southern Cape, Stilbaai is a beautiful seaside resort known for its scenic beauty and peaceful atmosphere. Together with nearby Jongensfontein and Melkhoutfontein, the area attracts people from all over the country, especially during the warm dry summer months. Visitors are offered wide open spaces, a tranquil river, white sandy beaches and the weather in which to enjoy it all - moderate days and still, languid evenings. An abundance of fauna and flora, especially the selection of fynbos, and a large variety of wild, marine and birdlife have always been a source of enjoyment. The unique harbour culture, that was the basis of the original economy, is of special interest to those who visit. Suitable whale watching sites are situated, amongst others, above the Stilbaai harbour.

Tourism forms a vital part of the economy of Stilbaai. On offer are amenities such as supermarkets, decor shops, antique shops, gifts and sports shops. There are numerous restaurants, coffee shops and take-away outlets. Various activities in the area include whale watching (mid June to October), visiting the historical and architectural heritage sites and the botanical gardens. A variety of sporting amenities are available including golf, bowls, squash, tennis, horse riding (in season), water sports, fishing, angling and scuba diving. Hiking routes and leisure walks are also situated nearby.
