About us

At Cefani Mouth Holiday Resort, our story began in 1941 when the first rondavels and bungalows were crafted by the hands of Italian prisoners of war. Since then, we’ve nurtured and expanded, growing into the cherished haven we are today, nestled along the serene banks of the Cefani River.

Here, amidst the tranquil beauty, families find a haven where simplicity intertwines with breathtaking vistas. Our 27 camping sites, 11 rondavels, bungalows, and cottages, along with 7 secluded chalets and 5 Riverview Chalets, offer a range of accommodations to suit every taste…

Midweek camping was blissful. Alone in the campsite except for the monkeys. Hot water, nice showers, plenty of shade. Swim in the lagoon as strong ocean currents.

We stayed at Cefani Campsite, near East London on our November 2019 road trip. The bungalows are neat and clean, but a bit outdated although it has all amenities one needs. There are many fishing spots and the sea is nearby. The sea water was warm and pleasant to walk and swim in. The road to the campsite is not tarred, but accessible to ordinary vehicles. Well managed by the owners.
