The Willows Resort and Conference Centre – Port Elizabeth
Who said Port Elizabeth was the ‘friendly city’?????? NO, NOT. But, The Willows Resort and Conference Centre WAS, YES. Situated only a few meters from the beach, on the “wild side” of the Port Elizabeth coastline, The Willows is a fisherman’s dream with rugged, rocky outcrops, and a child’s paradise with endless rock pools to […]
Green Fountain Farm Resort and Caravan Park – Port Alfred
Oh WOW, what an amazing location. Their slogan ‘a piece of paradise nestled in nature’, describes exactly what it is. Owner run and abely assisted by Jannie and her husband, Green Fountain is definitely a place I would revisit again. The resort has a little of everything, 22 upmarket thatched villas that are available for […]
ADDO Main Camp
From Port Elizabeth, about 74kms to the main entrance of ADDO. We arrived round lunchtime and were told to choose a C site (caravan site), anyone not being used. So John and I after leaving the campervan and the zook at reception, took a stroll around the C-sites. All the C-sites were shady, had a […]

BESTERSHOEK CARAVAN PARK – SOMERSET EAST

OUTENIQUA CARAVAN PARK – KLEIN BRAK RIVER

According to […]
Cintsa Beach Walk
It was another lazy Saturday afternoon in Cintsa. Tina was indulging in a siesta so I decided to take the dogs for a leisurely beach walk. One of the most appealing things about Cintsa is the pristine sandy beach that follows the curve of the bay for miles. Tina and I had noticed an astonishing […]
