Description
The Dunes Country House is an exclusive family owned retreat set in the picturesque St Francis Bay Village in the Eastern Cape. The Guest House, reminiscent of an old Cape farmhouse, is surrounded by beautiful indigenous gardens and sits on a 600-hectare property rich in coastal fynbos. This 4-star country house is perfectly positioned at the start of the garden route, and offers guests a wide variety of activities. The Dunes Country House is known for its delectable food and friendly service. Full English breakfasts are served daily in the main dining room or on the outside patios, weather permitting. Light lunches and picnic hampers can be requested and a 3-course dinner is available by arrangement. For the more active, guided walks into our adjoining coastal reserve, Thula Moya, where a mecca of flora and fauna abides. The reserve, with its numerous water holes and hides, allows nature enthusiasts to take in the birdlife and wildlife uninterrupted. We invite you to experience the tranquility and wide open space of The Dunes... The frog safari starts at sunset, when our newly appointed froggers make their way all huddled in a game drive vehicle, armed with torches, nets and plastic bags and wearing gum boots,. we head to our private nature reserve Thula Moya, where we find the frog filled dams. A sharp eye, keen ear and agility are key to the successful bagging of the springly amphibians. The noise is deafening as the frogs sing and create music of their own. They call as loudly as they possibly can in order to find a suitable mate. And, though the frogs come in all sorts of hues and colour combinations, from spotted, striped to dotted with red, green, yellow and black, it is not the sight of a handsome male that attracts the nubile females but the songs that they sing that have them swooning in the embrace of loud-mouthed males. Once caught , the frogs are identified, listed and checked over for any signs of ill-health that would indicate pollution. They are then released back into the dam. Where they can carry on calling for their mate. So far, 13 species have been found in the area. The area is highly protected so there is no access for pollution to take place.
