Hidden away on the banks of the Great Kei River lays a small valley surrounded by cycad-strewn cliffs, eagle-view koppies and fig-cradled forests. The pulse of the River is felt in everything here: whether you
are gliding along in our kayaks, hiking to hidden pools, fishing
for the legendary cob or simply watching sunset turn the cliffs
to gold as the crowned cranes fly home to roost. |

The thatched 4-sleeper chalets each have two rooms - one with a double bed and one with twin beds (both with en-suite showers) and a semi-open thatched braai/dining area with fireplace. Each room has a sliding door opening out onto a deck/lawn with lovely views of the river and cliffs opposite.
The chalets are:
• Water's Edge, overlooking the river, with magnificent views of
cycads and fish eagles on the cliffs opposite.
• Bird's View, set back on the forest edge, with a bird's-eye view
of the river.
• Forest Fern, a secluded chalet tucked into the forest edge, but still with a view of the river. Perfect for peace and quiet.
• The Nest is a 6-sleeper family unit situated right on the river bank shaded by stunning flamboyant trees. The thatched wooden cabin has two upstairs bedrooms - a double and a twin suitable for kids - as well as a deck and en-suite toilet. Downstairs is a twin bedroom and a lounge.
The spacious self-catering kitchen and dining room have lovely views of the river and garden, as does the outside braai area. The bathroom has a bath, but there is also an outside shower.
Our very popular Fisherman's Haven is set right on the river bank, with access to its own jetty. The haven consists of four separate rondawels – two are bedrooms, one with a double and a single bed, and one with three singles. The other two buildings contain the kitchen and the bathroom. There is an outside braai with a table and benches.
There is lots to do down at the lodge:
• Fishing - the lodge is situated just opposite the famous "Cob
Hole", a 40 feet deep fisherman's dream.
• Bird-watching - with habitat varying from dense riverine forest
to coastal scrub, valley bushveld and open woodland plus of course, the
river itself, this is a birder's paradise.
• Kayaking - we have two double sit-on-top kayaks and several canoes
for our guests' use (free of charge). Enjoy the river at the water-line
and experience bird-watching at its best.
• Hiking - there are several trails on the nature reserve, ranging
from relaxed strolls through riverine forest to more serious hill-climbs,
with rewarding views of the sea and Kei Mouth. Or be adventurous and explore
the magnificent forests on the other side of the Kei River.
• Swimming - the Kei River offers safe sandbanks for the kids to
play in, as well as deeper channels for all water enthusiasts. Along the
hiking trails are waterfalls and pools.
• Climbing - opposite the lodge and further up the Kei River are
some magnificent cliffs, well worth the challenge of abseiling and climbing.
