Areena Riverside Resort & Private Game Reserve

Areena Riverside Resort is one of the best-kept secrets of the Eastern Cape, on the southern gateway of the Cape Wild Coast. Experience 3 Star self- catering accommodation, either in lovely thatched rondavels, luxury cottages or exquisite timber chalets.

Our 350-hectare property nestles deep in a natural valley along the Kwelegha tidal river. By water – using a canoe, your own motorboat, or our cruiser – the mouth is 5kms away, through an unspoilt indigenous valley where a quiet, pristine beach awaits. By car, the beaches are a mere four-minute drive away.

Back at the resort, children and adults alike spend hours fishing, crabbing, canoeing and swimming. The resort is well sheltered from the wind, and a safe, fun-filled environment for children. We have a large split-level swimming pool, tennis court, 3 trampolines, volleyball area and a kiddie's playground.

Areena Quays is a fully licensed restaurant and pub at the river’s edge, with an a-la-carte menu and big screen TV, open from Wednesday to Sunday.

An entertainment program is arranged over the Easter weekend and during the Christmas Season, from about the 19th December until about the 3rd January.

The Areena Adventure Village offers an exciting range of activities from mild to wild – like abseiling at our stunning 50m site, archery, pellet gun target shooting, paintball, bow-hunting, hiking trails and guided quad bike trails though our game park, where you get close to various species of buck, zebra, wildebeest, ostriches and giraffe. Deep sea fishing, microlighting and beach horse trails can also be arranged.

Each of our self-catering units have fully-equipped kitchens, a queen size bed, one bathroom and their own private braai area. We supply bed linen, and bath towels are available for hire should you forget to bring your own.

For the avid outdoors folk, 150 caravan/tent sites – many along the riverbank - are well grassed and shady, each with 15-20 amp electrical outlets and water taps. Sparkling-clean ablution blocks are placed within easy reach from each site.

Come and discover the secret!
