Kwelera
Chalet, Self Catering

units)
(29 customer reviews)
Areena Riverside Resort is situated on the banks of the Kwelera Tidal River, 23km east of East London city centre, at the beginning of the Cape Wild Coast. Areena is Four Star and AA Highly Recommended where you can wake up to the call of the Fish Eagles.
The dream of Ed and Karen Rathbone to have a unique family resort became a reality some 23 years ago and soon grew from strength to strength.
After a lot of hard work and dedication, the Caravan Park was voted S.A. Top Resort 2004 after gaining much public interest and became the hideout for those wanting to experience quality family time in the heart of nature.
We offer you unsurpassed views of the river, wildlife, birds, and surrounding wild coast vegetation where cruises to the river mouth and beach can be arranged. Most early mornings will provide you with a spectacular visit of buck, monkeys and dassies on the other side of the river.
You can virtually fish from your tent on river front sites, and also park your boat along the jetty directly in front of you. Access to the beach is either by boat, river ferry, or a short trip by car. For the energetic, an interesting hike can be easily enjoyed.
Areena is a place to escape the hectic world, relax and rejuvenate. It is a place to reconnect, to become grounded. Areena is a wholesome place, where family values count and where the fun never ends!
