Pine Lake Marina is situated 5km outside of Sedgefield in the heart of the Garden Route National Reserve.  The resort is in a stunning location on the shore of Swartvlei Lake, offering fantastic views of the lake and sailing against a backdrop of magestic mountains.

When you are staying at Pine Lake Resort there will be plenty of activities to tempt you, that's if you can pull yourself away from watching the racing. The resort has swimming pools, tennis courts, table tennis, bikes and pool tables available. For those that want to explore the lake there are kayaks, SUPs, motorboats and dinghies for hire. There is also a spa and a gym.

Birdwatching trips on the lake can be arranged and there is the Golf Sedge Links Club, 2km away where guests can enjoy an 18 hole round of golf at special rates.

Further information of other nearby attractions and things to see and do before or after the championship will be posted soon.

*****UPDATE ON ENTRY IN EUROS *****
Some entrants have expereinced difficulties paying in Euros. Hopefully the additional information below should help. We are currently using the International RS Feva bank accounts to process payments due to difficulties accessing the Tera bank account owing to a change in treasurer. Hopefully this will all be resolved and in future it should be easier to make payments to enter events.

Please can you reference your Invoice NUMBER or Entry ID NUMBER ONLY. Please use the number only, not INV or Entry ID followed by the number.

You MUST cover all banking Fees, please do not use the share banking fees option.
