There is lots to do down at the lodge:

  • Fishing - the lodge is situated just opposite the famous "Cob Hole", a 40ft deep fisherman's dream.
     
  • Bird-watching - with habitat varying from dense riverine forest to coastal scrub, valley bushveld, open woodland and, 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 Picnic pool on the hike through indigenous forestrewarding views of the sea and Kei Mouth. Or be adventurous and explore the magnificent forests on the other side of the Kei River. We can provide maps and direct you to the best natural features, including Picnic Pool, Gxara Falls, the wreck of the Jacaranda and The Gates.
     
  • 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.
