Villa Riviera

Villa Riviera is a luxury beach house situated in the quaint little seaside village of Cintsa/Chintsa, just 45 km north-east of East London. The house consists of four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a games room as well as large open-plan living areas with stack doors leading onto two private balconies.

This stylish Tuscan-style house has a secluded back deck with a sunken Jacuzzi and two front decks with lovely river views. There are indoor and outdoor braai areas and a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and a washing machine to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

This part of the coast is reminiscent of all things wild, and the beauty of the surrounds is the reason so many seek out this peaceful spot that claims its name from the river on which it lies. Cintsa offers a haven in a tranquil setting, surrounded by lush indigenous forest and thicket as well as amazing bird life.

The beaches are relatively unspoilt and not as busy as the beaches of East London, making Cintsa an attractive place to stay, particularly as the sea is mostly flat with small waves that are ideal for children. Other highlights include canoe rides up the river at high tide, walks to Cefani Mouth or a 10-minute drive to the Inkwenkwezi Private Game Reserve, where you can see rhino, giraffe, zebra and a variety of buck.
