Southbroom
General Information
South beyond Ramsgate, the South and Hibiscus coast changes character as the highly distinctive, jagged-leaf iLala Palm and more secluded “hide-away” destinations take prominence. Southbroom is the first of these, an up-market, predominantly residential-and-retirement village in beautiful, leafy surrounds right up to the lagoon and sweeping, golden bathing beach.
The local Zulu population had long referred to the promontory at Southbroom as “Ntsaba”, and when Alfred Eyles built a wattle-and-daub mission nearby he Anglicized it to “The Lookout”. When he bought the area, however, he changed the name to Southbroom, after his Southbroom Hall family home in Wiltshire. Land surveyors, pleased to find a reminder of the Old Country, retained the name when officially declaring a town on the site in 1933.
