Pringle Bay forms part of the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve, in 1998, it became the first UNESCO-declared Biosphere Reserve in southern Africa. We are very proud of the Milkwood trees, South Africa's most iconic coastal tree and is one of South Africa’s protected tree species. These trees when blooming with delicate flowers can give off unpleasant odour and attract many bird species. There are three white milkwood trees in South Africa that have been declared national monuments. No open fires are allowed to be made anywhere on the property except for in the "braai" barbecue area, Pringle Bay is a high fire risk area and protected as a biosphere. We do not allow the open fire place in the cottage to be used, it smokes too much, there is however a moveable gas heater in the cottage for any chilly nights.
