🧜My Little House By The Sea. Perfectly Layzy Beach Dayz🧜

My seaside village is a typical small coastal town, with few permanent residents, a couple of small shops & a filling station for basic needs. The vast beach and its lagoon are the stars of the show. The lagoon is warm and perfect for children and families to swim or paddle in. Kilometers of sandy beach ideal for beachcombing, sandboarding & more, is overseen by a much photographed, iconic wooden lifeguard hut. There's plenty of space here so that even peak season shouldn't get ridiculous. The often deserted main beach front & parking area is abuzz with activity during peak season. A popular beachfront kiosk, " Lekke Bekkie " with a quality take away or sit down menu, is my favourite pit stop after one of my beach adventures, its' also is a popular place for visitors & locals to socialize. Personal safety is ensured, the parking lot and beachfront is monitored by CCTV, and regularly patrolled by public and private security vehicles. It is one of the few towns remaining where you will still see children playing in the streets until till late after sunset. I often end perfectly lazy beach dayz safely lounging on my front porch, immersed in glorious sunsets, listening to a Fish Eagle's call, often marveling at the sight of riders & their horses passing by my house a few meters away while making their way to the beach.You can clearly hear the waves crashing on the nearby seashore during high tide, providing the perfect backdrop for a dream come true experience for this former 'big city girl' The swimming and fishing here, are considered excellent, families & individuals return year after year, fishermen describe how they have the best fishing spots to themselves for most of the year. Boknes is not only a premier rock and surf angling destination, there are plenty of hiking trails in the surrounding area, and abundant bird life. Between July and December each year, the coastline is frequented by Southern Right Whales and Humpback Whales. A gentle hike, 4km along the beach follows the footsteps of the early explorers & takes you to Kwaaihoek, where Bartholomew Diaz erected a stone cross in 1488. Whales, dolphins and mermaids are often sighted here from a viewing platform adjacent to where a replica of the original cross has been erected. Families with members of varying ages often hike to the cross to picnic, snorkel or swim in the tidal pools. A walk along the beach anywhere along this pristine shoreline reveals caves, hidden rock pools, chimneys and sheltered bays created by unusual rock formations. If you are a birder you’ll definitely want to pack your binoculars as guided birding tours are popular in the area thanks to the biodiversity of estuaries, forest, subtropical thicket, fynbos and grassland. There are 2 bird hides along the Boknes river, situated roughly 250 meters away from Mermaids Cottage & Studio 107. Exceptional beauty and a unique location combines all the right ingredients to create an unforgettable holiday. Boknes is surrounded by beautiful big 5 game reserves. Book yourself a day trip or be adventurous and explore our FREE! “Poor Mans Game Drive" where can see some of our local wildlife, safe spots along the way allows you to stop, stretch your legs or picnic whilst enjoying unspoilt nature.

Alexandria

The gateway to Addo, Art lovers can visit the Quinn Sculpture Gardens or take a leisurely walk round the block to view the historical labourer's cottages, Courthouse and jail, Catholic Church & Dr Drew's house.These historic buildings date back to Settler times. Sports lovers can enjoy a game of golf at the local 9 hole course. Alexandria has the only chicory processing factory in South Africa which is positioned on the hill overlooking the town and is surrounded by dairy farms for which the area is also famous. Between Alexandria and the sea lies an extensive area of dense sub- tropical coastal forests that is preserved as a state forest known as the Alexandria State Forest, or Langebos to locals. It borders the Alexandria Dunefield, considered one of the largest moving dune fields in the world - some of the dunes reach heights similar to those found in the Namib Desert. This incredible feat of nature is, in turn, included in and protected by the Woody Cape Nature Reserve, a 25 000 hectare reserve that stretches from the Sundays River mouth all the way to Bushman’s River mouth, it is an excellent location for birding enthusiasts. The Woody Cape Nature Reserve then forms part of the Addo Elephant Park; hence Alexandria is often described as the gateway to Addo. Route 72 has an easy loop route through Woody Cape Nature Reserve to the villages of Cannon Rocks and Boknes.

Port Alfred

Port Alfred midway on the Sunshine Coast, has typically mild weather that translates into beach days, even in winter. Named after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert’s second son, Prince Alfred, it’s been here almost 200 years. Once it gave up on the idea of functioning as a major seaport, thanks to the sandbank at the mouth of the Kowie River, its navigable river and great beaches began to function as a mini Riviera on the Sunshine Coast

Bathurst

The village of Bathurst is an absolute must-visit in terms of historical buildings and quaintness; you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped into a little English village set on a hillside (CNN labelled it South Africa’s most eccentric town in 2014). The people who live here tend to congregate around the Pig & Whistle (the country’s oldest pub), whether it’s meeting up for a beer at lunch time, or bumping into one another outside the general dealer, the town has the sense of being well lived in.

Alexandria Dune Field

The Alexandria dune field is considered to be the best example in South Africa of bare coastal dune field, often referred to as a dune sea. It offers a unique and extraordinary wilderness resource which only a few other landscapes in South Africa provide. It is the largest and least degraded coastal dune field in the southern hemisphere. The dune field imparts a unique experience of solitude, infinity and spatial freedom. The Alexandria dune field has a surface area of about 15 800ha, stretching over 80km in length, with a width of up to 5km in places. The dune system is extremely dynamic with sand being continually blown in, building up and traversing inland. Some 375 000 cubic tons of sand is deposited into the dune fields each year.

Dias cross memorial

Heritage Site /Whale watching/gentle family beach hike To reach the Diaz Cross is a 3 km walk across the beach from Boknes lagoon, or a 6 km beach walk from Bushman's River mouth (provided the tide is out). In 1487 Bartholomew Dias was his return journey to the African coast. It was his destiny to blow off course and sail around the southernmost tip of Africa to land in Mossel Bay, opening a sea route between Europe and Asia. He then ventured further east turning back, historians believe, when he reached the mouth of the Great Fish River in the Eastern Cape. On the way back he was to place three stone crosses on the southern African coastline – the first of these at Kwaaihoek, on the 12 March 1488 (the other two are at Cape Point and Namibia). Today the cross is a provincial heritage site. But the cross you will see is not the original. That was held in place by only a few boulders and was ultimately buried under sand and broken by storms, so that it disappeared leaving no obvious trace of its existence. If it weren't for the work of a Professor Axelson, who spent two years exploring Lisbon archives and libraries in search of anything relating to the fifteenth century Portuguese explorers, the remains of this particular limestone cross would have remained in obscurity. After systematic searching revealed one a bit of the cross a metre beneath the surface of the sand, and another large chunk was found in a pool over the edge of the cliff where it must have fallen, the work that eventually unearthed the entire cross, albeit in bits, would never have happened. Its reconstruction is today at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg." A replica of the cross has been erected on the same exposed spot. The remains of the original cross erected by Bartolomeu Dias are located at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg.

Middle Beach

Situated in Kenton-on Sea (6 km away) lies Middle Beach, an unspoilt beach with soft sand and lovely warm water. At low tide the rock pools at Middle Beach in Kenton is fantastic experience. You can find many sea creatures there and you can also swim in 6 feet deep pools. Also it is a great way for young children and even babies to enjoy the water while still being relatively safe. The water here is also slightly warmer than in the open ocean because it has a chance to be baked by the sun. The beach has a shop, hygenic restrooms and sufficient parking.

Boknes Lagoon

The Boknes River, is a blind river, which rarely opens to the sea. It is not a very wide or long river and is very salty. It plays a vital role in the life cycle of the Sand Prawn, which can be found in abundance in this estuary and blind river When the Boknes river opens and closes, many fish species get trapped in the Boknes river and these fish can survive in the system until it opens again, then they will move out of the river back in to the sea. There are not a lot of fish in this river from my studies and exploration done here. Besides the bird life, crustacean and marine life in and around the river, these are some of the fish species one can expect to find in the Boknes blind river:

Sibuya Game Reserve

This renowned Reserve is home to a wide range of different species of Flora and Fauna, with the stunning Kariega River Estuary meandering through it. What make Sibuya Game Reserve so tantalising is that it has more navigable river than any other game reserve in South Africa.

Sibuya Game Reserve incorporates the unique East Cape Valley Bushveld, Grasslands and Coastal Forests. But the river also provides a particularly scenic backdrop for all the other game Sibuya has to offer the visitor, including the Big Five. A diversity of wildlife, from elephants to otters, grace the East Cape valley bushveld, grasslands and coastal forests that are the main terrain of the game reserve. To make it even more attractive, Sibuya lies within easy access on the malaria-free Sunshine Coast with its reception in the little seaside village of Kenton-on-Sea, not even 130 kilometres from Port Elizabeth. Visitors head to the reserve for a combination of the African safari and bush lodge experience, during which they can stay in one of two secluded camps – the River Camp and Forest Camp both, despite their names, on the banks of the Kariega River.

Waters Meeting Nature Reserve

The aerial view of the Kowie River loop (one of very few river loops in the country) has become quite a showstopper – it’s something of a mini Blyde River Canyon – known as Horseshoe Bend. The loop almost closes at the neck of the bend, forming a U-shape where fresh water meets sea water, which is how it got its name. If you’re doing a cruise of the Kowie River you can get here by boat, but you’ll have to climb to see the aerial view. It’s probably just easier to follow the R67 through Bathurst and on for about 4 km to the reserve. The 174ha Waters Meeting Nature Reserve in the Eastern Cape lies between Bathhurst Port Alfred, and is named for the part of the Kowie River several kilometres upstream where freshwater meets saltwater from the Kowie River Mouth. There are three main hiking trails through the reserve, from 3 to 9km, through coastal thicket Animals you are likely to see include rock dassies, blue duiker, otters, Kudu, waterbuck and bushpig. There is also an abundance of birdlife, including fish eagles. There are also picnic spots with braai areas and toilets on the riverbank. A steep hike up from the river will take you to a viewpoint with a beautiful view of the ‘horseshoe bend’ in the Kowie River. Overnight accommodation is available in a forest hut as part of the Kowie River Canoe Trail which starts in Port Alfred 21km away. Getting there: The Reserve can only be accessed from the Kowie River, from Port Alfred.

Bushmans River

Boesmans River (Afrikaans: Boesmansrivier) is a river in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. It originates north of Kirkwood and runs east past Alicedale, before it turns and twists south and east to Kenton on Sea, where it mouths into the Indian Ocean through a tidal estuary only 1.7 km to the SW of the mouth of the Kariega River. The Bushman’s River Canoe Trail is a self-guided 2 day 26km trail up the Bushmans River from Kenton-on-Sea and back to the Kenton Marina . The canoe trail is a leisurely but sufficiently testing 13km’s each way, but the prize at the end – basic wooden hut accommodation in the bush complete with a jetmaster braai, will pale in comparison to the journey upriver. The river borders the Kariega Game Reserve and previous paddlers have spotted lions and elephant on their journey in addition to plenty of birdlife and game. The overnight hut sleeps 11 people. All supplies and bedding must be brought, but there is an option to have your things transported to the overnight hut ahead of you. For more info and to book: The Kenton Marina (+27) 046-648-1223.

Route 72

"Route 72 is a scenic road that winds through the heart of the Sunshine Coast, connecting the bustling cities of Port Elizabeth and East London. It incorporates a pristine stretch of shoreline between the Garden Route and the Wild Coast. . Whether you want to head east, north or west (or south if you’re up for an ocean cruise), there’s something for you and the whole family within an hour or two of the Bay; adventure, relaxation, wildlife, budget spots and luxurious escapes, you name it and the Eastern Cape has it. One place I highly recommend for a quick winter break is the Sunshine Coast, with its long stretches of sandy beaches, rivers and history, so why not wave the city adieu and venture onto Route 72 for a bit of seaside fun and sunshine? The distances between a lot of the seaside villages and towns on Route 72 – such as Cannon Rocks, Boknes, Kenton-on-Sea and Port Alfred – are short so you can either base yourself in one spot for the weekend or wake up with a different view every morning. Some are so close together, you can even walk from one to the other one (tide permitting). Route 72 will: Entice you with its many spectacular, unspoilt beaches and clean, navigable rivers. It is home to 5 of the 7 natural biomes and is a great place to view wildlife in a safe, malaria- free environment. Enchant you with the warmth of local hospitality. Its quaint seaside towns and art villages provide excellent accommodation options and a variety of culinary experiences. Excite your zest for life with all the activities it offers. You can hike, bike, fish, surf, water ski, canoe, dive, golf, bird watch, game drive, horse ride and more. Reconnect with yourself, and with the exquisite natural landscapes of the Eastern Cape. Route 72 is yours to explore… You can travel the shortest distance between two points in less than 30 minutes while driving between Alexandria and Kenton-on-Sea on Route 72 or you can stop, explore and detour a bit while discovering some of the gems this area has to offer.

Sandbar Floating Restaurant The

Sandbar Floating Restaurant The tranquillity and beauty of the Bushman’s River Mouth is unspoilt by any fast-paced city vibe. In fact, this part of the town of Kenton-on-Sea, and the Eastern Cape Province at large, is particularly peaceful, known for its laid back atmosphere and friendly folk. The Sandbar Floating Restaurant and Pub is just that; a restaurant that is situated on a permanently moored boat, which bobs slowly and peacefully on the quiet waters of the lagoon. The look and feel of the Sandbar is rustic, homely and comfortable; while the views of the river and surrounding Eastern Cape bushveld are simply breath-taking. There is a huge array of bird species in the area, and many of these make their appearance around the restaurant to the delight of the diners. The Cape clawless otter often visits the boat, playing in the warm waters of the river and entertaining patrons. The menu is characterised by pub fare and South African favourites. Thanks to its being on the coast of the Indian Ocean, fresh seafood is readily available and makes for scrumptious options for discerning diners and little ones alike. Light meals and grills are on offer, as well as tempting desserts. The Sandbar Floating Restaurant and Pub is fully licensed and serves a range of beers, wines, spirits and cocktails. It is the ideal spot at which to have a cold drink after a long, hot day on the beach or to bring the family for a fun lunch on the water’s edge. Local diners visit it frequently, and ensure that visitors are welcomed back again and again during their time in the peaceful Eastern Cape. It is also wheelchair accessible and child-friendly. NEED TO KNOW WHERE River Bend, Bushman's River Mouth, Kenton-on-Sea, Eastern Cape WHEN Booking essential. Open for lunch and dinner from 11h00 until late. Open from Tuesday to Sunday.

I told him that I could not speak his language however, I can sing in Italian," giggled Maphoyi. +27827720614 3 Eastbourne Road, Kenton on Sea

We fed the dog some of our boerewors and after that he stayed with us till our last day at Assegaai.

Hiking - Alexandria Hiking Trail - Alexandria

Addo's Alexandria Hiking Trail Hiking the two-day Alexandria Hiking Trail in Addo Elephant National Park is an unforgettable experience that leads the hiker through three distinctly different environments ranging from forest to coastal dunes, to seashore. No other trail in the country can boast this diversity, as you clamber up the desert-like dunes and stand aloft cliffs crumbling into the sea, trek through high forest, and along spectacular beaches and This area is secluded and largely uninhabited and therefore wildlife, dolphins and whales are regularly sited, and one is almost ensured of a complete break with life as you know it. The Alexandria Hiking Trail takes in 36 kilometres of forests, dunes and seashore across two days in a wilderness that satisfies one’s thirst for communing with nature. Otherwise, Route 72 has an easy loop route through Woody Cape Nature Reserve to the villages of Cannon Rocks and Boknes.The Alexandria Trail is situated in the Addo Elephant National Park and bookings are administered through: Camp Matyholweni Tel: +27 (0)41 4680916/8 Email: matyholweni@sanparks.org Trail base office: Woody Cape office Tel: +27 (0)46 6530601
