Fishermen are treated with a variety of excellent fishing spots, both rock and surf, or you could simply walk down to the river bank. For the fishermen in search of an adventure, launch your boat off the property and take a scenic journey to the Umzimvubu river mouth or let us charter you a deep-sea trip to some of our unspoilt reefs. Once you land the fish of your dreams, cleaning it is a breeze with the cleaning station set up right next to the river. Port St Johns is a favorable fishing destination, especially during the months of May to August when the Sardine Run pushes by.
