Van Stadens Resort
Van Stadens Resort
Van Stadens Resort sits on the Van Stadens River Mouth along the Sunshine Coast of the Eastern Cape, roughly halfway between Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) and Jeffreys Bay.
The resort occupies a nature conservancy where the tranquil Van Stadens River estuary meets the coast, offering 90 lawn campsites suitable for tents or caravans, some shaded by milkwood trees and others with open panoramic views.
Self-catering chalets and thatched rondavels with sea views round out the accommodation options. Activities center on the estuary and surrounding landscape, including swimming in the lagoon, canoeing, fishing, sandboarding, and birdwatching.
Pedal boats, paddle skis, and canoes are available for hire, and trampolines and a play park make the resort a popular family destination. Day visitors and picnickers are also welcome.
