Crawford's is nestled in the middle of the beautiful Chintsa (Cintsa) Bay on the Wild Coast, surrounded by rolling hills, lush tropical beach forests and overlooks the warm Indian Ocean. A romantic getaway to explore the many beautiful treasures the Wild Coast has to offer.

Spend your days walking on our endless golden beaches and be absorbed by the untouched natural beauty of the landscape while discovering new exotic bird and fish life indigenous to the area.

Our location is malaria free. We are approximately 42km from East London, the surfside city famous for its Nahoon Reef. Far enough from the maddening crowd, but close enough for emergencies.

It is also an ideal venue for Weddings & Honeymoons.

The Wild Coast has everything a traveler needs, and probably right on ones doorstep. There’s great fishing, wildlife and long beaches. There are activities like swimming, horse riding, surfing and canoeing. But it doesn’t end there; off the beaten track, whether you get there by hiking or with your 4X4, you’ll find abundant cultural heritage, rare exotic birdlife and if you lucky, the odd leopard.

Some places have great rivers; some have outstanding beaches while others have waterfalls and mountains. Some things are constant however; lush forests, tropical climates and majestic sunrises and sunsets. A great way to see the coastline from a different perspective is from a sea cruise. In doing so, you’ll also get sight of the many whales and an abundance of dolphins common to the area. There are many things that will really impress you.
