    Nature's Valley is a small holiday village on the Garden Route, nestled between a lagoon, sandy beach, and the forest of the Tsitsikamma section of the Garden Route National Park. There are hardly any shops, but instead peace and beautiful hiking trails. This is where the multi-day Otter Trail ends.
