Leisure Bay Cottage

It is a small little town about 12km from the Wild Coast Sun. Beautiful unspoilt beach, very quiet, no shops...love it!

Cozy and pet friendly. Bon fire area is nice. It could use some upgrades on the outside like paint. There is no extras like a pool, etc but it's a drive away from the beach and other attractions. It's basic.

Love the area for its commitment to conservation - a few of the main routes between the coastal road & the beach are tarred but many of the side joining roads in the residential area are still dirt roads but kept in fairly good condition. They even had a dune rehabilitation program in place during our visit & then of course many displayed signs w.r.t fines that will be incurred for illegal dumping, littering etc. The properties themselves are also really nice with a lot of the fauna, vegetation, trees etc all being saved & I believe, things in place for people wishing to cut down trees - for example, if cutting down a tree or trimming it can improve ones sea view, it's not just a straight forward process of go ahead & do it - I believe one has to request permission to do so. The negative to the area may be that one needs to drive out of the area for their groceries, petrol etc but then towns like Port Edward are within about 7Kms reach of Leisure Bay. The beaches themselves, although not having any tidal pools, must be about the best on the South Coast - we thought both Kids Beach & Peter Pan Beach were really picturesque & excellent for bathing in the right tide. All in all, a really nice alternative for Margate & the surrounding areas should anyone wish to look at retiring down the South Coast a little way away from all the hustle and bustle or to visit away from the maddening crowds - guess it does have its busy periods but when we were there, visits to the beach & just exploring the area in general on foot revealed it to be really pleasant - almost makes one want to make that move down there.

We had an awesome out of season 13night stay at TO strand. Lovely big blue swimmingpool at secure code lock gate leading to a beautiful clean beach. Stands are well maintained, A-block ablution is cheerful, little crowded over weekends. It as a old resort in a nature concervatory. Rates are very reasonable and staff was friendly

Lovely back to nature feel, close to the beach. Well kept terrain. Monkeys we can handle, but a real pest were the Hadeda/Ibis' loud, continual haa- haaing from before 4.00 in the mornings, waking babies, interrupting all peace and quiet. I won't go to TO Strand again because of this.

Clean & well maintained. Loads of camping space & lots of chalets. Secure.Short walk to a nice coach.On site shop for basics.Port Edward a few minutes away.Look out for their specials.

It's a bit odd. Odd staff and an odd vibe. But it's very cheap. The accommodation is basic but clean. The pool is nice and the beach is a few minutes walk. Good for a cheap basic self catering weekend

Great location being right on the beach, with seaviews from most chalets. Beds are not comfortable, nor are the amenities that great, but this is a value for money place, and it is very hard to find anything comparable. Camping is also available

Nice place for a relaxing, fun filled holiday by the sea, close to the beach.

Best facilities and clean and upmarket camping and housing. Great venue for weddings and school camps. Its a park and stay holiday venue. All you need at one amazing place
