Kenton-on-Sea & the Eastern Cape
Kenton-on-Sea is located on the coast in the Eastern Cape, which is at the bottom tip of South Africa, and part of the malaria free eastern cape game reserve district.

Kenton is a popular seaside resort with a vibrant atmosphere in season, but beautifully tranquil and peaceful the rest of the year. Kenton is renowned for some of the best beaches and protected coves on South Africa’s coast and affords guests with attractive walking, hiking, fishing, horse-riding, boating, canoeing, surfing and kite-surfing opportunities.

The surrounding areas are home to numerous game reserves stocked with the big 5. In addition, the towns surrounding Kenton are steeped in history as some of the earliest settlers dating back to the 1820’s landed on these shores. These towns now have thriving arts and crafts and home cottage industries, as well guided historic tours and popular Arts Festivals.

Activities in Kenton and the Eastern Cape / Sunshine Coast
Kenton nestles between two rivers (the Bushmans and the Kariega) and the edge of the sea. All this water and the warm Agulhas current makes Kenton a water sport mecca.

Just inland you'll find malaria free game reserves stocking a variety of game including the big 5, and further on, Grahamstown, home to the Annual Grahamstown Arts Festival and some of South Africa's best schools and university campuses.

Activities:
· fishing
· boating
· skiing
· walking
· kite-surfing
· wind-surfing
· canoeing
· paddle-skiing
· surf-skiing
· mountain-biking
· diving
· snorkelling
· dune-boarding
· or just enjoying the waves.

The Kariega and Bushman’s River are navigable for 15 and 30 kms respectively, ideal for fishing, bird watching and enjoying the forest and riverside landscapes. The area is surrounded by private and national game reserves for viewing the big 5 in a malaria free area. Day safaris can be organised at short notice.

For more organised activities, boat cruises and deep sea fishing trips are available while there are boat trips for whale & dolphin watching from nearby towns in season. Eco-adventures and scuba diving are on offer for the more adventurous. Other act ivies in the area include, art & artifacts, health spas and gyms and riding, hiking and mountain biking trails, as well as horse-riding on the beach. The Royal Port Alfred Golf course and Fish River Sun Golf Course are both in close proximity for that day of golfing relaxation.

A popular annual draw card to the area is the Grahamstown Arts Festival which is located 40 minutes away. The Festival runs from 2 to 11 July this year and is jammed packed with fantastic shows and entertainment.

Alternatively just relax at the Beach House after a day of sunshine and fun and enjoy a drink and a BBQ at the edge of our swimming pool whilst gazing over the spectacular views.
