Redelinghuys is situated in the Sandveld and is a mere 20 minutes drive from Elands Bay. The Sandveld is one of the main potato producing areas in South Africa. It is also what it says, mainly sandy earth and is therefore a challenging 4x4 area. This quint little town is surrounded by overhanging cliffs, the beautiful Verlorenvlei and
the majestic Atlantic Ocean.

The town of Redelinghuys is situated on the banks of the Verlorenvlei, meaning 'Lost Marsh', which houses a wealth of rare bird species. Verlorenvlei is certainly one of the most rewarding birding destinations in the Western Cape, especially when waders from the northern hemisphere emigrate to the warmer climate of this region. Besides the many exotic species that migrate here, the reserve is also home to numerous indigenous bird species. No less than 232 kinds of birds have been recorded here. The wetland stretches along 25 km. Although Cape nature Conservation owns it, the surrounding land is private property and prospective visitors should get permission to walk along the banks of the wetland. Apart from whatching and walking, canoeing is also allowed.
