DOLPHINVIEW

Self-Catering Accommodation

SITE 3,
QORA MOUTH, WILD COAST,
EASTERN CAPE, SOUTH AFRICA

The original cottage consisted of 3 large rooms, a kitchen and a dining room was bought by Ernie & Irma Smith back in 1969 and was used as a seaside get-away for the family.

Alterations were slowly made over the next 30 years such as adding a roof to the overall cottage as well as putting a front on to create the lounge area.

Ernie & Irma moved back to the cottage on a full-time basis and started the DolphinView B&B in 2002.

Every penny of profit was invested back into their business and slowly added more rooms, water tanks and upgraded the camp over the next 15 years. Adding, in order Milkwood, Breaker View and Garden View.

Sadly, Ernie died in 2016 and Irma a few years later in 2019.

Most recently all the cottages have undergone a major facelift which was completed in December 2020!

The DolphinView Trust manages the property on behalf of Ernie & Irma's children and grandchildren

HOW WE OPERATE

Everything you need to plan your trip including what we provide, our terms and conditions and other useful information

​The Dolphin View Cottages are situated on South Africa's "Wild Coast" at Qora Mouth (KOB INN).

The cottage is situated 100m from this beautiful stretch of virtually uninhabited, unspoilt coastline on the Wild Coast

Qora Mouth is on a beautiful stretch of the Wild Coast which has both sandy and rocky stretches of coastline.  Right in front of Dolphin View there are three sets of reefs which are accessible at spring low tide if you have a good swimmer or three in the group. 

Dolphins and whales are sighted regularly.  

A lovely swimming beach with rock pools is less than 150m away.  There are 3 swimming beaches within a 10-minute walk of the cottage.  The beaches are perfect for swimming for young and old.

The beautiful Qora River is a 20-minute walk away.  The coastline is pristine, offering exquisite walks and hiking trails for nature lovers, round trips vary from 25 minutes to 10 hours.  For bird watchers there are fish eagles, buzzards, king fishers and many more. The fishing is amazing, both for rock 'n surf and estuary fishing. Diving/snorkeling and spearfishing to the different reefs, depending on degrees of bravado, is lovely.  Kayaking and surfing is done by the more intrepid (equipment not supplied). 

For the more adventurous bring your own boats and skis for a day filled with fun and water activities on the Qora River.
