About Bishops Cove Sunbird Cottage

Bishops Cove Sunbird Cottage is situated on one of the most stunning sites on the beautiful Tsitsikamma coast.

To the south lies the pristine rugged coast with its ever changing ocean; to the east, a dramatic drop into the forested Boschkloof; to the North, a small stream gurgles through a steep valley hidden by its forest canopy; and to the west, a hill covered with fynbos protects the cottage from the occasional passing cold front.

Tsitsikamma Accommodation

The Sunbird Cottage has two spacious en-suite bedrooms and an open plan living area and small kitchen that opens onto a large covered deck with amazing views.

The main bedroom is furnished with a Queen-size bed and the second bedroom is furnished with two single beds. The first bathroom has a bath and the second bathroom is equipped with a shower.

Other facilities include a fireplace, a TV with DStv channels and tea and coffee making facilities.

ACTIVITIES

Hiking, cycling, birding, swimming, and relaxing are the most popular activities. There are several hiking trails along the shoreline, on the edge of the cliffs, and into the indigenous forests. One may encounter large bushbuck and several other types of antelope, dassies, genet, porcupines, mongoose, and other small game.

On the water's edge or in the ocean, the Cape clawless otter is still sited fairly regularly. Dolphin are sited close inshore almost on a daily basis whilst whales are common in the winter months. Seals and penguins are occasional visitors to this part of the coast.

The area is unique from a birding perspective due to the presence of birds of the seashore, grassland birds, coastal bush birds, and forest birds - all within one geographical area. Although the coast is rocky and rugged, the lodge overlooks a rare, small, protected beach. Cyclists can make use of the miles of rural, quite, unpaved roads passing beautiful dams, pastures, and plantations.

Bishop's cove is a jewel of the garden route. An amazing sea view, a private beach, a beautiful house with a large wood stove, a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and very friendly hosts. This was our second visit and we'll certainly be back.
