Overview

Stilbaai lies at the mouth of the Goukou River where it meets the Indian Ocean along the southern Cape coast. The town straddles the river with the bulk of the residential and commercial areas on the west bank. A narrow strip of holiday homes extends along the shoreline and low coastal hills to the east of the river.

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 roll for protection. The canvas is unstretched and unframed.  We welcome personalisation and customisation requests, such as highlighting of specific buildings or features, adjusting the colour scheme, or the addition of text and images.  Please contact us for a quote.

History

Stilbaai began as a small fishing and farming outpost serving the surrounding coastal farms in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its modern layout evolved mainly through mid-20th-century holiday development, with new suburbs expanding along the estuary and coastline as the town became a popular seaside destination.
