Situated only 23 km east of the East London city center, Areena Riverside Resort has become a sought after holiday and corporate destination. Nestled on the banks of the Kwelera tidal river, is the Eastern Cape's best-kept secret. Areena offers everything from well-grassed camping sites, self-catering accommodation, adventure village, and private game reserve. Campsites are grassed and the same are shaded by our trees and campers can pitch their tents or park their caravans. Clean tap water, electricity and a braai area with a grid will make the stay much more comfortable. Communal ablutions and laundry facilities are on site. The Adventure Village offers various activities such as quad bike safaris through the game reserve, canoe hire, 10 line zip line to mention a few. Our onsite restaurant, Areena Quays Restaurant, on the banks of the river offers great family dining.
