Welcome To Coelacanth Sea & River Lodge

Coelacanth Sea & River Lodge offers three self-catering units in a lush garden setting on the banks of the Chelumna River, close to where the historic Coelacanth fish was re-discovered in 1938.

Nestled on the riverbank of the mysterious Chelumna River close to Kayser's Beach, Eastern Cape, the lodge provides not only proximity to prime fishing spots but also a suite of amenities designed with anglers in mind.

Guests benefit from the lodge's private slipway and jetty, which ensure seamless boat launching and a hassle-free fishing experience.
For Families, there is so much to do!
Wide open lawns with majestic trees for careless children's play, a crystal clear pool to enjoy, a snooker table, tennis table, darts board or board games for endless hours of fun.
For the more adventurous, launch a boat from the slipway, go knee boarding on the river or take a boat drive down to an amazing secluded private beach.

Explore the same magical river mouth where the great Coelacanth fish was discovered back in 1938.
Known for its rich and diverse ecosystem, the tidal nature of the river contributes significantly to the abundance and variety of fish species like kob, grunter, shad, and the elusive leervis.
Whether you're looking to embark on a solitary fishing adventure or want to share this magical place with family and friends, Coelacanth Sea & River Lodge offers the ideal backdrop.
