Experience the natural beauty of the Eastern Cape bushveld at Mansfield Game Reserve. This exclusive reserve is set along the Kowie River, in the heart of the Sunshine Coast. We are located a mere 6 km outside of Port Alfred on the Bathurst Road via vehicle or come by boat 11 km up the Kowie River.

We have a variety of accommodation options available, from elegant lodging, superb restored ox wagons dating from the 1800s, to rustic camping and caravan sites, each with breathtaking views. You can expect an exceptional level of comfort, rest and relaxation at this unique reserve during your stay.

Mansfield Reserve offers a wide range of activities and facilities available for all to enjoy, be it at our Black Rock riverside seasonal restaurant, kid's play park with jungle gym, trampoline, rock pool, sandpit and an Old Land Rover, or our picnic and braai/barbecue facilities. This is the perfect place to spend the day with family and friends.

In addition, the reserve also offers birdwatching, picnicking, fishing, canoeing or picturesque game drive in our open game-viewing vehicles ensuring a most memorable game viewing experience. Walking and hiking trails abound through the reserve; view the abundant range of wildlife and bird life that would satisfy any nature lover. Relish the pleasant and safe encounters with our game, from zebra, wildebeest, impala, blesbuck, bushbuck, nyala, eland, waterbuck, duiker and monkeys, as well as a friendly giraffe called Gambit that will let you get up close.

Enjoy the warm hospitality that Mansfield has to offer with their open-hearted and hands-on style. Mansfield Reserve is a unique destination.

We stayed on the platform, it was just so amazing and waking up as the sun rose was awesome! Gambit even came down to say hello! We are planning on returning every year from now on, holding thumbs.

My husband and I spent 3 glorious days at Eagle's Nest. It was our honeymoon and will remain our anniversary getaway each year. The log cabin was homely and comfortable, the view was magnificent and we had a 'wow' moment each time we walked out onto the deck. It was quiet, peaceful and close to amenities. A definite must for nature and bush lovers. Thanks to Gary and Leda for a memorable stay.
