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.

Arniston takes its name from the British East Indiaman Arniston, which was wrecked nearby in 1815 with the loss of more than 350 lives, one of South Africa's worst maritime disasters. The neighbouring fishing settlement of Kassiesbaai had already been established by local fishing families and remains one of the country's best-preserved traditional fishing villages, with its whitewashed and thatched cottages now recognised as a national heritage site. Over time Arniston developed as a small holiday destination while retaining of the Overberg coast. its close connection to the sea, fishing and the unique cultural heritage.
