Come relax in a fully equipped guesthouse, consisting of two tastefully decorated bedrooms, a double sized open plan lounge, dining room and fully equipped open plan kitchen.
The main bedroom features a double bed and a single bed. This bedroom opens onto the wooden deck with a restricted view of the River.
The second bedroom consists of 2 single beds. A separate single bed can be found in the large and tastefully decorated air conditioned lounge.
The Guesthouse features an, under-African-skies bathroom with a glass roof. Take an unwinding bath with a glass of champagne while watching the stars. This is designed to provide the ultimate comfortable stay, and take the already luxurious ambiance of Sundays River Mouth Guesthouse, to yet a new level.
Fishing is excellent from both my jetties, mainly at night and very early mornings and just after sunset. You can buy Chokka and Pilchards at the top supermarket namely “Sundays River Supermarket”. The food is fantastic and well-priced at the adjoining “Grunters Pub & Grub”. Ask for Ricky, our famous barman to assist you. Enjoy.
There is also a Spar as well as an all-night shop at the BP garage.
Should you wish to get on the river, there are plenty of ferries, phone my good friend Rossie van Rooyen on 0829560674 and he will organize this for you. Swimming is fun in the river mouth (NO SHARKS EVER!!)
Swimming in the river is safe but mind the boats.
Addo Elephant Park Southern Entrance is 4.2 km away and a must see for you and your family while you are here. Suggest you go early morning and keep to the left-hand loops while going North to the Tourist Centre. Must go to a watering hole called “HAPOOR”, plenty of elephant with young calves, fun to watch them wallowing in the water.
Up the coast you should take a drive to Kenton and find the River Boat restaurant, then there is Port Alfred, Cannon Rocks. A pretty drive. You will pass the huge “Nanaga Farm Stall” before the coastal Alexandria turnoff some 10 km away from Colchester. There are also some very interesting farm stalls on the coastal road.
