Amazing! The staff were awesome. The chalet was unbelievable. The beach close and pool fantastic.

This was our first stop on a 3 week holiday of the Eastern Cape. If I'd known how perfect this place was, I'd have stayed the full 3 weeks. Incredible. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The chalet was nicely decorated, clean and in close proximity to the beach. The pool was the best for us... brilliant! Loved it all! We'll definitely go back!

Stayed overnight after a long drive. Lovely spot, with a nice beach a short drive away. Friendly efficient reception. The chalet was nice and clean and spacious with a balcony with views all round.

Arrived a little late but still got in.

We liked the Kowie River Chalets. The only thing I thought was a bit strange was that we called the phone number a thing 7pm a few times and no-one answered. We weren't sure if we were going to be able to check in or not. Thank God they taped an envelope with our keys to the door. The place was spacious but lacked a few amenities like a drip coffee maker.
