Fort D'Acre is a private game reserve at the mouth of the Great Fish River along the Eastern Cape's Sunshine Coast. With 1200 hectares of pristine bushveld set against stretches of sandy beachfront, our property is truly spectacular. We offer exclusive use, self-catering accommodation in a beautifully appointed, recently renovated thatched lodge, Hunter’s Lodge. The lodge consists of 5 rooms, 4 of which are en-suite. Guests will have private access to a secluded beach at the edge of the reserve. There is free WiFi, TV with DSTV, and magnificent panoramic views over the reserve and sea. The lodge is open plan with a dining room and lounge area set around a central wood-burning fireplace. The undercover veranda overlooks the large garden and outdoor pool and is the perfect spot for alfresco dining. There is a braai (BBQ) area adjacent to a thatched pub for evenings around the camp fire, and a beach lapa with fireplace and a large deck with sun loungers overlooking the sea. The lodge’s kitchen is well equipped with all that one may need to whip up a braai, birthday cake or family roast dinner. No need to worry about loadshedding as the property has an alternate power supply that comes on automatically. Game drives onto the reserve can be organised upon arrival. Activities such as canoeing, deep-sea fishing and river boat cruises are available nearby. Fort D'Acre is located just 25 km away from Port Alfred and 37km from Bathurst. There is no restaurant on the property. The property does not offer shuttle services or airport pick-ups. It is advised that guests have their own transport in order to access the beach and to explore nearby towns and villages.
