What To Do:

On Riverbend

Our visitors are able to experience the quiet pleasures of the south coast wildlife within our twelve acres with its' lush terrain and scenic views.

Birding: paths winding amid coastal bush give excellent bird viewing.

Tree Spotting: KwaZulu-Natal has over 750 species of indigenous trees. Home to nearly 75% of South Africa's tree species

Butterflies: the majority of South Africa's over 800 species of butterflies are found in KwaZulu-Natal. We have many of the host plants right here and on sunny days butterflies abound.

Fishing: a smallish dam on the property has tilapia (bream) and is suitable for children to fish. The Tweni River has mullet which may be found in deep pools in the river.

Canoeing: Tweni River is a slow-moving river and is, at our level being close to the sea, brackish. The water level is affected by the river mouth opening/closing. During a rainy summer the river mouth is often washed away, but during the dry winter months it tends to stay high. We have 4 two man canoes available for hire. Paddle upstream and discover the mysteries of the River.

Walking: there are a number trails in and around Riverbend.
