This region is characterised by an extraordinary diversity of natural assets and
features, both in the coastal and interior regions. Not only does this region
have the mountains, some covered with indigenous forests while others are
carpeted in fynbos, the renowned South African Floral Kingdom acclaimed by
botanists all over the world, but they also have the sea, the sun and are home
to six of South Africa’s seven plant biomes.
The new boundaries of this region stretch from the village of Nieu-Bethesda in
the north to Storms River and Coldstream in the south and from Willowmore in
the west to Bathurst in the east. The Nelson Mandela Metropolitan
Municipality does not form part of the region, but the region also incorporates
the lovely areas east, north and west of Mandela Bay (Algoa Bay). These
include the Kouga, Sunshine Coast, Tsitsikamma, parts of the Karoo
Heartland and Frontier Park Tourism Route areas.
