Kurland Estate
Kurland, often referred to as Kurland Village, is a rural township in the Garden Route District Municipality of the Western Cape province of South Africa.
Situated in the Crags area on the edge of the Tsitsikamma Nature Reserve and approximately 20 km from Plettenberg Bay, Kurland faces challenges such as high levels of unemployment and domestic violence. However, the area boasts several tourist attractions, including Birds of Eden, Tenikwa, Monkeyland Primate Sanctuary, and Elephant Sanctuary along with guest houses and B&Bs. These attractions offer numerous job opportunities to residents. The Crags Primary School, established in 1981, is the only school in the village.
