A Magnificent Riverside Retreat at Nature’s Landing (available from the 28|29th December and for New Year - for as long as you wish)

Follow a winding, secluded driveway through beautifully manicured gardens and arrive at an exceptional private home in a magnificent riverfront setting overlooking the Bushmans River.

Positioned within the exclusive Nature’s Landing conservation estate, this remarkable seven-bedroom home offers an extraordinary combination of space, privacy and spectacular natural surroundings.

Designed for family and friends, the house comfortably accommodates up to 14 guests, while offering an abundance of space to spread out. A private swimming pool sits within the secluded courtyard, while inside there are generous living areas, several separate seating spaces, an expansive river-facing balcony and a large family TV room.

There is plenty of room for everyone to be together — or to find a quiet corner of their own.

The views are a defining feature of the home. From the main living areas, expansive balcony, bedrooms and private outdoor spaces, the Bushmans River and surrounding valley provide a spectacular backdrop.

Despite its wonderfully secluded setting, the property is ideally positioned just 10 minutes from Kenton-on-Sea, approximately 30 minutes from Port Alfred and around 1½ hours from Port Elizabeth Airport.

The area is also ideally located for exploring Addo Elephant National Park and the malaria-free Big Five game reserves of the Eastern Cape.

Coastline Collection can assist with arranging an itinerary to suit your stay, whether you would like to explore the beaches and rivers of the Sunshine Coast, enjoy time on the water or venture to one of the Eastern Cape's renowned game reserves or several restaurants in the area.

THE HOUSE
Enter through the winding, secluded driveway and beautifully manicured gardens to a private courtyard with a swimming pool — a wonderful space to cool off, relax in the sunshine and enjoy the privacy of the property.

From here, step into a spacious home designed around relaxed family living and entertaining.

The heart of the house is the open-plan kitchen, dining and main living area, which flows naturally onto the enormous river-facing balcony. The modern kitchen is fully equipped and includes a separate scullery with washing machine, tumble dryer and all the modern amenities required for a comfortable stay.

The formal dining area opens through double doors onto the balcony, immediately drawing you towards the magnificent views across the Bushmans River.

The expansive balcony is one of the home's main gathering spaces, with multiple seating areas and a barbeque (braai) area, making it ideal for long lunches, afternoon drinks and relaxed outdoor entertaining.

Off the main living and balcony area is a massive family TV room, providing another fantastic space for everyone to gather, watch a movie, relax or escape the heat of the day.

There is also a separate formal lounge with further beautiful river views, leading through to the office and main bedroom suite.

With so many different living areas throughout the home, even a full house of 14 guests has room to spread out and enjoy the property without feeling crowded.

SEVEN BEDROOMS | SLEEPS 14
The seven bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned across the different levels of the home, creating privacy and space while still keeping everyone connected.

MAIN BEDROOM
The generously proportioned main bedroom enjoys beautiful river views and opens onto its own private patio.

The suite includes a dressing room and a spacious en-suite bathroom with a slipper bath, shower, toilet and basin.

LOWER LEVEL
Three further bedrooms are situated on the lower level.

Bedroom 2 is a double bedroom and shares a full bathroom with Bedroom 3, which is furnished with two single beds. This arrangement works particularly well for families.

Bedroom 4 enjoys beautiful river and valley views and has its own full en-suite bathroom.

COTTAGE-STYLE ACCOMMODATION
On a slightly separate level of the property is a private cottage-style area with its own sitting room and two double bedrooms.

Bedrooms 5 and 6 share a full bathroom with shower, toilet and basin.

The cottage also has its own outdoor seating area — a lovely space to enjoy a morning coffee, read a book or escape the midday sun.

SEPARATE BEDROOM
Bedroom 7 is separately positioned across from the cottage and has its own en-suite bathroom, private balcony and beautiful views across the surrounding landscape.

Bedrooms open onto their own balcony or outdoor area, allowing guests to enjoy views of the river, bush and surrounding trees from the privacy of their own space.

NATURE’S LANDING
The setting is a significant part of what makes this property so special. Nature’s Landing is a private 102-hectare conservation estate situated along the Bushmans River, where indigenous vegetation, riverine bush and abundant wildlife create a peaceful natural environment.

Impala, red hartebeest, bushbuck and nyala roam freely through the estate, while more than 200 bird species have been identified within Nature’s Landing. The natural environment includes indigenous flora such as euphorbia, cycads and aloes, creating a genuine sense of being immersed in nature.

The estate also offers a communal jetty and private airstrip, adding to the unique character of this very special setting.

THE RIVER & OUTDOOR LIVING
The home enjoys a magnificent riverfront position overlooking the Bushmans River.

For guests wanting to enjoy the river itself, access is available via the estate's communal boat-mooring and jetty area. Use of a boat mooring can be arranged and booked in advance. The communal lapa, conveniently situated close to the boat-mooring area, can also be booked separately.

Back at the house, the private swimming pool and expansive balcony provide two very different ways to enjoy the outdoors - from a refreshing swim during the day to sundowners and relaxed evenings overlooking the river.

Whether you spend your days on the river, exploring nearby beaches, watching wildlife or simply enjoying the house and its beautiful surroundings, this is a property where there is no need to rush.

Gather around the dining table, spend the afternoon beside the pool, relax on the expansive balcony, watch a movie in the family TV room or simply sit quietly and watch wildlife moving through the estate.

With seven bedrooms, generous living spaces, a private swimming pool, exceptional river views and room for 14 guests to spread out, this is an outstanding base from which to experience the natural beauty of the Eastern Cape.
