Why Harewood Lodge?

Nestled in the heart of the Eastern Cape, Nahoon stands as a coastal gem, steeped in rich cultural history and offering a picturesque haven for those seeking both heritage exploration and coastal relaxation. Harewood Lodge, a charming family-owned guest house, serves as the perfect gateway to this blend of tradition and tranquility, conveniently situated within a mere 10-minute stroll from the famous Nahoon beach and river.

The Eastern Cape, renowned for being the home of ex-President Nelson Mandela, witnessed the convergence of the San, Xhosa, Afrikaner, and English communities. Initially, conflicts between Boers and Xhosa over grazing land led to the grensoorlöe (“border wars” in Afrikaans).  The Eastern Cape’s diverse history gives it the unique character and friendliness for which it is renowned.

Harewood Lodge invites guests to revel in the comforts of a home away from home, with accommodation options ranging from standard to luxury rooms, each equipped with modern amenities. The lodge’s rooftop offers a breathtaking 360-degree view of the sea, golf course, and surroundings, providing a serene setting for morning reflections or evening unwinding.

Beyond its cozy accommodation, an array of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. A  selection of popular restaurants that provide diverse culinary experiences. Whether indulging in a hearty breakfast to kickstart the day, enjoying a leisurely lunch by the beach, or savoring a delectable dinner as the sun sets, guests at Harewood Lodge have easy access to a variety of dining choices.

The Nahoon Reef, internationally renowned for surfing, offers an exhilarating experience with awesome waves. Paddlers can also navigate the wonderful surf, while the Nahoon River provides a peaceful paddle surrounded by captivating birdlife. Fishing enthusiasts will find abundant opportunities, complemented by the joy of watching dolphins and whales frolicking in the surf during the sardine or shad runs.

Nahoon Beach, a short stroll from Harewood Lodge, invites guests to explore a range of activities, from kite surfing and paragliding to snorkeling or simply enjoying a relaxing walk along the sandy shores.
