Each caravan site is separated by natural hedges and is equipped with amenities such as BBQ areas, water taps, and electrical outlets.

Location

Guests can explore the Tugela River estuary, just a short walk from the resort. The area is surrounded by coastal bushes, providing a picturesque backdrop for outdoor activities.

Fishing Activities

“Nestled near the Tugela River mouth, the resort strikes me as a simple, unpretentious getaway focused on the outdoors, especially for those keen on fishing. Cabins offer the basics, and while the beach isn't ideal for swimming, it's perfect for long walks, and the clean pools provide a refreshing alternative; from what I gather, it's a great place for families and anyone looking for a quiet escape from city life.”
