Lalanathi Caravan Park – ‘Come sleep with us’.

Lalanathi Caravan Park – ‘Come sleep with us’.

We were really spoilt for choice along the South Coast of Natal, quite a few offering ‘dog friendly’, however none quite as ‘friendly’ to humans and dogs alike as Lalanathi which is Zulu for ‘come sleep with us’.   This gorgeously, green caravan park, tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac, in the suburb of  […]

Blog update 9 June 2013 – 18 June 2013

So, we decided to leave Lalanathi a couple of days early, for not other reason than to plan to spend a few extra days in Dundee so that John could get more time in for fly fishing and piccies, as well as a couple more bicycle rides.  Cycling on the South Coast was a ‘no-n0’.  […]

Blog update 8 May 2013 – 14 May 2013

Hello again….last time I blogged, we were waiting for the ‘total onslaught’ at Dragons Rest for the Sani to Sea…..’total onslaught’ actually never happened.  Although the self catering and b&b accommodation at Dragons Rest were fully booked, it sure was a very poor show on the camping front.  We had a couple of chaps in […]

Dragons Rest – Underberg – Kwazulu Natal

Dragons Rest – Underberg – Kwazulu Natal

Dragons Rest is a 30 hectare farm, owned and run by Kelvin Strachan.  Kelvin offers camping and self catering.  The camping is divided into camps 1 – 5, each probably managing to accommodate up to 6 tents, campervans or caravans.   All have braai facilities, are grassed, have water points and are electrified. Ablution facilities offer […]

Coffee Bay Camping – Coffee Bay, Wild Coast

Coffee Bay Camping – Coffee Bay, Wild Coast

Accommodation for our campervan wasn’t an easy exercise as the few camping/caravan sites in Coffee Bay were not accessible for caravans or campers, that is, until we found Coffee Bay Camping.    Run by Corrie and Bucks from Port Edward and when they are not there, ably managed by Mike and his doggie Amour, we were […]

Blog update – 2 April 2013

So Mandy and Zillah with Kady arrived on the 2 April 2013.  After some scouting around and discussion, they decided to pitch caravan on the same site as John and I, for security purposes…our campsite was big enough for all of us. That evening, John and I treated the Croney family to a seafood feast. Crays, oysters […]

Blog update from 21 February 2013

Since I blogged last, the dogs and I went into East London with John to do one of his driving lessons in the truck.   Wow, what an eye opener it was too.  This huge big truck which he had to alley dock and alley dock and alley dock, till he got it right.  It was […]

Blog update 20 March 2013

We left Cintsa with horns blaring and hands waving….scheduled arrival time in Coffee Bay…..2pm.  We had been warned about the terrible condition of the roads to Coffee Bay, after turning off the N2, however we still needed to travel the N2 and were not sure what to expect.   Shew, what an experience.  There were lots […]

ACTIVITIES

Cintsa Beach Walk

It was another lazy Saturday afternoon in Cintsa. Tina was indulging in a siesta so I decided to take the dogs for a leisurely beach walk. One of the most appealing things about Cintsa is the pristine sandy beach that follows the curve of the bay for miles. Tina and I had noticed an astonishing […]
