Nestled behind the main coastal sand dune in Cintsa East
Cintsa Dunes Beach Resort lies on one of the most beautiful and unspoilt stretches of the Wild Coast. Here, 12 kilometres of uninterrupted beach roll out in front of you, while indigenous coastal dune forest shelters the resort in calm, natural beauty.
Just 40 minutes from East London Airport, this is a place where families, friends, couples, school groups and adventure seekers come to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature.

Exciting news from Cintsa Dunes! This weekend, we had the absolute privilege of meeting the new owner of Cintsa Dunes (formerly Arendsnes) — and wow, what a transformation! She gave us a tour of the beautifully upgraded log cabins, and they are the perfect blend of comfort and nature. Looking for the perfect family getaway? This is it!”

Cintsa Dunes fits the description “Gem” perfectly. From comfy cabins to well located camping spots, a stones throw from the Chintsa East Beach and incredible developments already on the way! You NEED to visit Cintsa Dunes

An absolutely amazing place to stay! From the view to the overall vibe everything was exceptional. Super close to the beach and very nice accommodation for a great price. I definitely recommend it.

Cabins have everything you could need, as well as a nice deck with an awesome view. Each cabin also had a braai as well. The beach is a quick 5 minute walk away. Would definitely stay here again. The wood fired hot tub was also a great way to end the day.
