A tour of STRUISBAAI, South Africa - Africa's Southernmost Harbour Town

[@errol-zs1aci]

Thanks, Wille. We frequently visit the Struisbaai / L'Agulhas area. I’ve noticed there has been a lot of new development since we were last there. I am still working through your previous videos and will soon watch the Tunisia ones. It is indeed wonderful to see the places you visit and your unique style of presenting them. Terloops, baie dankie dat jy nie jou videos met afskuwelike en eentonige musiek bederf nie. ❤

[@willieexplore]

Always a pleasure and privilege, Errol. I've not been back here for many years so it was great to visit again. A lot of buildings seemed unfamiliar to me so yes, lots of development. I think you will enjoy the Tunisia videos, it was one of my favourite countries to vlog in. Ek probeer my videos so rou en outentiek as moontlik hou, so geen musiek vir my! Groete

Willie, what a Fantastic presentation of one of the most Beautiful part of the whole World, and who could have done this better than you! No one!! That is why this gradually became my favourite KZbin channel! What an amazing village! Do you realise the beautiful sky in your video! This is just a couple of weeks away from high summer in South Africa? Grown up by the seaside, these videos are of remarkable value to me! Ja! Dankie!

[@willieexplore]

Hi Bip! Thanks as always for your encouragement, motivation and support! And thanks for paying me the ultimate compliment with your words about my channel, I am over the moon! This is a very beautiful part of South Africa and yes, I noticed the sky when I was there but also when editing the video! Such a wonderful world we live in, right? Hope you have a good day!

[@melaniebrits2113]

Daai ou vissershuisies is prentjiemooi. Laat my wens ek kon skilder! Ek geniet jou vertellings, en veral die historiese feite, vreeslik baie. En dis sommer ekstra spesiaal as jy Afrikaans so gemaklik ingooi!

[@willieexplore]

Baie dankie Melanie! Dit is wonderlik om sulke terugvoering te kry en ek is veral bly dat jy die geskiedenis geniet. En ja, Afrikaans is 'n bakgat taal! Groete daar

Another beautiful part of your country, Willie. Very scenic! 😊

[@willieexplore]

Definitely scoring high on the scenic scale, Sheila! Thanks for watching and engaging!

[@mayousimon1]

Another fine example of adventures plus informative videos you made willie i enjoyed small huts in beginning and cars its base on Leslie cube black is hot and white is cool but that gives you ideal for why white cars better in heat. Just to say great video plenty of inspiration views and interesting places for visiting way more than cities in south Africa thanks willie!

[@willieexplore]

Cheers Simon, you are right re the Leslie cube! South Africa has so much to offer outside the cities, so I'm glad you enjoy these videos!

[@redmen8339]

What a place some great views there.

[@willieexplore]

The scenery is something else! Cheers for watching!

[@AvrilMorris-w1i]

Hi Willie, regarding your request for comment about the longest beach, I live in Velddrif and I'm not sure whether Dwarskersbos has the longest beach, but I have heard that the whole of St🎉 Helena Bay, which stretches up from St Helena Bay , past Laaiplek to Dwarskersbos, to Elandsbaai, is regarded as the largest BAY in Southern Africa.

[@willieexplore]

Hi Avril, thanks for engaging and offering your two cents. It certainly is a very long bay along our West Coast! There might also be technical terms like "uninterrupted" at play here.

[@gibau1000]

Beautiful landscape!

[@willieexplore]

It really is special!

[@MrElhabib123]

Good and helping vidéo ❤Keep up the good Work

[@willieexplore]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the support!

[@charmainemynhardt3880]

What a beautiful little place

[@willieexplore]

It certainly is! Thanks for watching and supporting my channel!

[@alanfoster6253]

Hi there, thanks for a wonderful video, this was my go to destination when I always went on holiday and that was years ago, the place has really changed since I was last there, and may I say for the better. About the beach, it is the longest in south Africa, I also remember the ship wreck where all that crude oil damage the surrounding area, there was also a few holiday resorts which I frequent but that was years ago, there was a restaurant/ Cafe called the Dromadares on the waterfront, right opposite the old struisbaai holiday resort (I don't think it is there anymore) the sea claimed that structure. Thanks again for the amazing video and seeing the great change what's happing in struisbaai

[@willieexplore]

Hi Alan, thanks for watching and sharing those additional insights. Sounds like the place holds great memories for you! Appreciate your support and encouragement.

[@maryross4488]

Hi Willie Wow what a super breakfast and a lovy fishing town. Never been to struisbaai. A very neat town. Can't wait for you to enter saldanha bay. I loved the Robertson vlog and the gansbaai one. Take care on your adventures ❤

[@willieexplore]

Hi Mary, always lovely to hear from you! I had a very pleasant experience in Struisbaai. I will definitely get to Saldanha in due course and will absolutely get in touch with you before I do. Thanks for your continued support and encouragement!

[@christineketland1345]

Hi Willie another great video… I’m playing catch up of your latest vlogs as I’ve had my daughter here and currently looking after her two corgis for a few days … so I have 4 dogs at the moment… I really like the map you put up as I usually look on google maps for where you are. It really is a beautiful part of the world interesting it’ll be so busy in just a few weeks. Your room looked ideal as a place to edit your vlogs and relax . 😊chris

[@willieexplore]

Hi Chris, always nice to hear from you! Hope you have a wonderful time with your daughter and the dogs. Sounds like you will be busy! As someone with a soft spot for maps and globes, I'm glad to hear you like the map addition. I always try to include a relevant (and real) map but they are not always available. Maybe investing in a proper atlas is a good idea for me :) The room was very nice and a good place to hide from the wind too! Have a great rest of the week if I don't hear from you again.

[@christineketland1345]

@willieexplore Victoria has actually left the dogs with me while she and her partner have gone on a city break to ..Barcelona...fortunately weather has been great so I'll cope with all 4. I'll watch your next one later 😊

Willie, lekker om jou video's te kyk veral die geskiedenis van die dorpies. Kyk om by Riviersonderend te stop as jy weer daar rond is, het daar groot geword sou wou sien hoe dit nou daar lyk. Sien uit na al die ander video's!

[@willieexplore]

Hallo Elize, dankie vir jou mooi boodskap en ondersteuning! Sal hopelik nog in daai rigting beweeg een of ander tyd. Groete!

Thanks for showing me these cool places in the western Cape. I only knew about Yzerfontaine & now I look at Real Estate in some of these other spots. Hello from USA 🇺🇸

Daai community service center was jare terug n privaat skooltjie gewees, Zoetendal Akademie. Ek het as kind daar groot geword en dit was my skool. My familie was die eienaars van die bakery op die dorp. Ongelooflike memories!

Dankie vir die deel van hierdie inligting, klink of Struisbaai vir jou kosbare herinneringe inhou. Groete!

Lekker Willie...Derek hier, hoop dit gaan goed. Laat weet as jy in Mbaai is.

Hallo Derek, lekker om van jou te hoor! Sal jou verseker laat weet, ek gaan beslis daar 'n draai maak. Beste groete

[@petermuller1870]

Hi WILLIE ANOTHER GREAT VLOG i STAND TO BE CORRECTED BUT AS FAR AS I KNOW YZERFONTEIN 16 MILE BEACH IS THE LONGEST BEACH IN SOUTH AFRICA FROM YZERFONTIEN TO LANGEBAAN

[@willieexplore]

Hi Peter, thanks for engaging and offering your insights! I think we need an official inquiry into the matter! Greetings

[@kosherchessandphotography4139]

Nog 'n lekker video! Struisbaai is een v.d. plekke op ons reisplan! Het jy dalk enige geveerde vriende daar teegekom? Ek vlieg met 'n lang lens oor en sal baie graag arende wil afneem! En daai rooibos tee wat jy gekoop het is 'n baie goeie idee! As hulle net Engelse tee in ons gastehuise het, sal ons ook rooibos koop!

[@willieexplore]

Baie dankie! Klink of julle sommer 'n lekker "road trip" beplan. Ek het nie spesifiek gekyk vir diere nie, maar die Nasionale Park sal 'n paar huisves daarvan is ek seker. Stem 100% saam oor die Rooibos! Groete!

So ver ek weet is Struisbaai se strand van 14km die langste in die suidelike halfrond. Ons bly nou hier. Die beste.

[@willieexplore]

Dankie Andrew, een ding is seker - ons het lang strande in Suid-Afrika! Groete

Town full of rich holiday homes for those 1% people, expensive resturants and nothing much else, If you wanna feel bad about your income, go here.

You are entitled to your opinion, others will disagree I'm sure. Cheers for watching.
