Kenton - on - Sea

Kenton-on-Sea is a small coastal town in the Eastern Cape, flanked by the Kariega and Bushmans Rivers and head-on by the Indian Ocean. The town’s charming and tranquil character is characterised by holiday homes, making it one of the most alluring destinations for a holiday with your favourite people. Its proximity to schools, universities, and the famous National Arts Festival, makes it the perfect home-away-from-home base for a weekend getaway when visiting the kids or indulging in the annual celebration of the arts. The Eastern Cape is exceptionally peaceful, known for its laid-back atmosphere and friendly locals, and Kenton-on-Sea is no exception. The pace is slow in Kenton, with invigorating salty swims restoring the soul, rock pools to explore, and lazy hours spent on the beach. Nevertheless, there are still plenty of activities for the adventurous, such as boating, mountain biking, beach horse rides, fishing, hiking, and kayaking. The warm waters, long stretches of dreamy beaches, and bountiful nature trails make Kenton-on-Sea a hidden gem.

Salem

The little settler village of Salem (meaning ‘peace’) is one of those places that suffers from being en route to somewhere else and, as such, remains rather low on the average traveler’s list – a somewhat misguided conclusion to draw about the quaint town. Salem is a hidden gem, ideally situated between Kenton-on-Sea and Grahamstown, making it the perfect base for exploring the surrounding areas. The region’s gently undulating hills and peaceful surroundings are territory to extensive birdlife and herds of free-roaming game, making it a nature lover’s delight. Spend your days exploring the Sunshine Coast beaches and nature reserves, or simply soak in the peaceful atmosphere from your cottage’s private deck, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the African bush. The town’s name, meaning ‘peace’ aptly describes its serene and tranquil surroundings, making Burlington Bush Cottages the perfect hideaway for those seeking a secluded getaway to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with yourself and your loved ones.
