One of a kind camping experience
Camping at Areena Riverside Resort was an absolute delight! Nestled along the tranquil banks of the scenic Kwelera River, this resort offers a perfect blend of nature and comfort. The camping grounds are well-maintained, with spacious pitches that provide ample privacy.
One of the highlights of our stay was the abundance of outdoor activities available. From canoeing and fishing on the river to hiking trails through the game reserve, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, providing us with all the information we needed to make the most of our stay.
The resort facilities were top-notch, including clean and modern restroom facilities, a spa for relaxing massages and a cozy restaurant serving delicious meals. We especially loved unwinding by the campfire in the evenings, exchanging stories with fellow campers and the friendly residents under the starry sky.
Overall, our experience at Areena Riverside Resort was nothing short of fantastic. Whether you’re a seasoned camper or just looking for a weekend getaway in nature, I highly recommend this hidden gem along the Eastern Cape coastline. We can’t wait to return!
