This tranquil resort is positioned on the banks of the Zamnyama River, which meanders its way through the rolling hills of the Eastern Cape. Birdlife is plentiful, and quiet days can be spent fishing, canoeing or swimming. Take a scenic walk down to Cove Rock and discover a beautiful beach… and the perfect spot for a picnic and lazy beach days with the family. Small dogs are allowed out of season with prior consent of the resort manager.
