"The first time I drove down to the bay, I was awestruck. I had to stop and adsorb this most beautiful place, where birds and fish are abundant and game roams freely. The drive down through old growth indigenous forest, with Yellowoods and Stinkwoods towering as they did a few hundred years ago, made me feel quite insignificant. A true Garden Route holiday destination unlike any other." - Pierre Theron
Ballots Bay is located within the George Private Nature Reserve, and as such is private and secure.
A remote controlled and manned access boom ensures that only authorised holiday makers enjoy paradise!
The rugged coastline prevents any outside pedestrian access to the bay.
The Tree House
Surrounded by Milkwood Trees -
a most unique and private setting.
Ballots Treehouse is most unique, in that it's both a beach front home, located in a cliff side and totally surrounded by Milkwood trees. It comprises of 3 bedrooms downstairs and an open plan lounge, dining room and kitchen upstairs - connected to nature by a generous deck with a Wood Fired Hot Tub to soak up the mountain, river and seafront views. Amazing!

One of the true Gems on the Garden Route - Complete with Lost Treasure!
Ballots Bay is both a natural gem in its breaktaking beauty and a true treasure tale in von
Mollendorf’s lost treasure. History reports that in around 1788, a Prussian field marshal’s son
was shipwrecked in the bay and lost his iron strongbox. For many years he would come down to the
bay to see if it had washed up and in subsequent years a few attempts have been made to remove
the strong box from its place in the rocky reef. You can read more about this over here in Chapter
5 of South African Beachcomber by Lawrence G Green.
