Indoor or outgoing, visitors are spoiled for choice
The wild coast stretches from the eastern London in the south to the border of KwaZulu-Natal to the north. It is a traditional home for the people of Xhosa, Thembu and Mpondo, and is the birthplace of many notable South Africans, including Nelson Mandela, Winnie Mandela and Tabombbeki.
The area is known for its mild winter climate, with temperatures around 21-23°C in July and minimal rainfall making it the perfect time to book a vacation in the wild coastal sun. Not only can guests enjoy multiple indoor activities at the resort, but the pleasant weather helps in pursuit of many outdoors in the area.
Popular summer adventures like kayaking, paddle boating, water skiing and tube rides may be a bit challenging on a leisurely beach walk along the brave coastline, but guests, especially in the rooms with a look, can head to the beach for fresh breeze and saltiness.
That said, on middle-aged school holidays, you'll see a week-long Sunfest Inflatable Park celebration that turns wild coastal sun into a thrilling playground packed with giant inflatable obstacle courses, slides, bouncers, tunnels and more. It's non-stop behaviour and excitement outside, even for kids, teens and even the youth of the heart.
If walking the beach is a bit tame, we can arrange supervised horse rides suitable for children and adults.
Other outdoor entertainment includes several rounds on the 18-hole Championship Golf Course, offering unparalleled views. The tennis and grass bowls are green (and 10 pins inside). It has been consistently rated across South Africa's top 10 courses, designed to embrace the landscape by Robert Trent Jones JR, and formed part of South Africa's PGA circuit with a par 70 card rating. With wide fairways, huge greens, many bunkers, valleys, water dangers, shots above waterfalls and coastal winds, players will be challenged by any hole.

When it comes to lawn bowls, it's not just for mature players anymore. It is a relaxed activity that anyone can play regardless of age or ability. It's easy to learn, as competitive as it is relaxing and competitive.

Segway tours are something that the whole family should do together. All you need is a little adjustment and practice and you're heading down your path. We have an experienced guide at hand to provide lessons to help you build your confidence.
Before you set out to explore inside the resort, here are some more external ideas:
Warm weather and fertile land make the wild coast a major agricultural destination. Many of the farms on the lower south coast invite visitors to enjoy excursions and tastings. If there is a coastline, there is a shipwreck. Some are below the sea level for divers to explore, but at Port Edward Beach you can see the San Joan Portugal memorial built in North Sandbluff to commemorate the lost soul in 1552, when Portuguese ships sank into shallow waters off Port Edward. Unforgettable people walking along the beach are completely unaware of what lies beneath their feet, so register a tour guide to showcase the history and sights from the Cretaceous and volcanic ruins of 80 million years old fossilized trees and sediments within the oil forest.
