Overview

Pringle Bay is a small coastal village on the western shore of the Kogelberg coast, tucked between the sea and the rugged mountains of the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve — one of the most biodiverse stretches of fynbos in the world. Its setting is dramatic and largely undeveloped, with the Palmiet River mouth and the steep Kogelberg massif forming a natural boundary around the village. It draws visitors seeking seclusion and unspoilt surroundings rather than conventional resort amenities.

Map Design and Paper

The map is an original creation by our design studio at Africa Map Art. Data for this map has been compiled from various up-to-date sources including from the OpenStreetMap contributors. The map is available in four styles and on the following two paper options and canvas: a high quality 210gsm heavyweight coated paper with a matte finish, which achieves excellent colour and resolution and is perfect for framing;  a 260gsm photo paper with a smooth satin finish;  and a 350gsm strengthened canvas. All of the options are shipped in a cardboard tube for protection. The canvas is unstretched and unframed.

We welcome personalisation and customisation requests, such as highlighting of specific buildings or features, or the addition of text and images.  Please contact us for a quote.

History

Pringle Bay remained largely inaccessible until the coastal road through the Kogelberg was completed, after which it developed gradually as a modest holiday settlement. Unlike formally planned Cape towns, its layout is organic — streets and plots follow the contours of the land between the mountains and the shore, rather than any imposed grid. It has retained a small, low-density character, shaped more by the constraints of its terrain and its location within a protected biosphere than by commercial development pressure.
