Perched on the edge of the rugged Tsitsikamma cliffs on the eastern edge of the Tsitsikamma National Park in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa some 160 kilometers west of Port Elizabeth on an estate spanning over three kilometers of spectacular oceanfront, the luxurious lodge presents the ultimate in natural beauty, peace and tranquility, affording 80 kilometer views of the coastline, both to the east and the west. To the south the views are endless. This oasis is exclusive, secluded and remote, at the end of a seven kilometer dirt road, far from the nearest town.
Six luxury suites in the exclusive four-star rated lodge have spectacular ocean views and private balconies or verandahs, some with private entrances too.
For larger groups or those with a sense of adventure, more than 30 poolside double day-beds with lockable storage underneath turn into overnight cabanas with gazebos like four-poster beds, with zip-up sides and canopies, allowing one to sleep topless under the stars with a heated blanket.
Three glass walled pools, one 100,000 liter cold and one 55,000 liter warm water, and a 20,000 liter hot tub on the edge of the cliff looking down on the breakers below, all appear to flow into the ocean.
Besides plenty of nearby activities, the estate offers horse riding, hiking trails, bird-watching and bass fishing. For those interested in mycology, the estate offers an incredible variety.
Enjoy cocktails at Kontiki on Sea, the poolside bar, or pick a vintage wine from our wine cellar with a selection of 170 different ones.
Notice:
The estate still has a few on going projects for further upgrades.
Be aware!
We are at the end of a 7km dirt road meant to be maintained by the Provincial Administration, over which we have no control. But then again, great and interesting places that are private and secluded are hardly found on the beaten track. It is quite passable for family sedans, but low-slung cars with low profile tires will have to drive extra careful. Thousands of guests over the past 15 years have used the road without a problem.
When within 5 kilometers of the lodge, do not trust your GPS! Follow the directions and lat/longs found on the Directions (hyperlink) page on this site. Google Maps are known to misdirect you, causing you to turn right too soon and having to drive through neighbouring farms on rough roads.
