Map of East London |
East London is a
pleasantly laid back little city with lovely beaches and great surf. Pretty
little seaside resorts stretch out to the north, eventually culminating
in the fabulously scenic Wild Coast, where you can do coastal hikes - on
your own or supported - horse trails, some gentle river paddling and awesome
surfing. There are some small game farms nearby and fantastic hikes in
the not too distant Hogsback Mountains. East London has some great
cultural attractions, including a wonderful natural history museum, where
you can see the only dodo egg in existence - but don't expect Jurassic
Park, it's a bit dodgy. |
What isn't dodgy,
though, is the fact that it was this museum that identified the first specimen
of a coelacanth - there's a great exhibit outlining the history of this
awesome prehistoric fish. Previously known only from the fossil record,
it was assumed to be extinct, and is believed to be the missing link between
aquatic and terrestrial animals. OK - one of the missing links - it's quite
a long chain. East London has all the facilities you'd expect in medium
sized city - good hotels, sufficient shopping opportunities, yummy restaurants
and an airport - while still retaining the sleepy charm of a village.

| Grahamstown, Frontier
Country, Eastern Cape,
South Africa. A town that manufactures
pottery and is the commercial centre for a rich agricultural region. Founded
in 1819 as a military post on Xhosa land, the Grahamstown area was the
site of repeated conflict in the early 19th century. Rhodes University
(1904) and the Albany Museum, with collections of prehistoric and natural
history materials, are in the city. The broad tree-lined streets
and buildings of Grahamstown are the legacy of a time when this was the
Cape's second city. Take time to walk through this historic centre and
visit the Observatory Museum which houses one of only two Victorian Cameras
Obscura in the world - the other is in Bath, England - with a magical mirror
that reflects the town onto a large circular table. |

Country
Cousins was completed as a family home in March 2006, but we decided not
to move in, but to establish a unique Self-catering accommodation establishment
as a business for ourselves. We both have an interest in the hospitality
industry and have travelled extensively. Those experiences and the expertise
that we have from our other chosen careers, that of Travel Agent and Estate
Agent are to benefit of the establishment of this guest house. With
its the exquisite face brick design coupled with its wooden floors, high
pitched roof and quaint dormer windows led us to establish this as a wonderful
“Guest House” for visitors to our lovely city. We decided to start on a
smaller scale with “self-catering” accommodation and filled a new market
in Grahamstown, the first stand-alone house available for rental on a daily,
weekly or monthly basis. |
