A huge thank you to all the staff at Fish River Resort, you made our stay exceptional, pool was lovely, food was absolutely delicious, and we utterly enjoyed ourselves each night with the different games / entertainment at Kontiki with Neville and Shaun, haha LOVED the Karaoke, ohhh and the magic show! :D I would definitely recommend this resort to other people. We were made aware about the water shortage issue, we visited for 10 days, and only 1 morning noticed the water was missing - we know the situation is beyond anybody's control but it felt very normal - thank you for all the effort @WaterTeam :)

The Royal Port Alfred Golf Club

The Royal Port Alfred Golf Course is one of the oldest and best known in South Africa and was established in 1907.The undulating course snakes its way through thickets of pristine coastal forest and over hilly dunes always with the smell and sounds of the Indian Ocean close by whose blue waters offer the most panoramic views from many of the fairways. In true links tradition every slope, mound and dip remains untouched, demanding creative shot making and deft reading of angles.Adding to the allure and charm of the course is its resident wild life. Normally shy bushbuck will continue grazing contently as you walk by while springbok and impala pronk with delight. The blesbok, fallow deer duiker and giant tortoise peer at the golfers with suspicion and there is bird life in abundance.Visitors are always most welcome.

Great facility, excellent and challenging course. Beautiful view of the ocean on various tee boxes, if a windy day the course becomes more challenging
