Welcome to Morgan Bay where it’s like coming home.
In Morgan Bay you always feel welcome and that’s what brings people back time and again. Morgan Bay is situated +-85km North East of East London with a magnificent newly tarred road to Kei Mouth which by the end of 2006 will bring you almost to our doorstep, just 6kms of gravel road.
Morgan Bay Hotel is a family accommodation establishment catering for the whole family, from grandparents to grandchildren. Our aim is to make your holiday a memorable one, so that you will speak of Morgan Bay with fond memories and always return for more.
Morgan Bay Hotel can accommodate 90 guest. We add a whole new meaning to 'a room with a view'…Comfortably furnished, your room sighs a big hello to the Indian Ocean lapping right in front of you.
Tea, coffee, sugar, kettle, fresh towels, bedding and toiletries are supplied in each room.
Baby cots are available as well as room service on request.
Morgan Bay has and always will be a family seaside holiday resort where the kids can use up their seemingly endless supply of energy while Mom and Dad try to regain some.
In Christmas season the Morgan Bay Hotel runs all sorts of competitions organized for the children, from Mr. Muscles and Little Miss Morgan Bay, to sand castle competitions. They also offer a festive Christmas Dinner and Dance as well as a New Years Eve fireworks display and a Dinner/Dance to remember.
Enjoy adventurous day walks with your family along the Strandloper Trail or wander down to Double Mouth, in search of the prized Carnelian Beads or shards of Ming china washed ashore from the Santo Espiritu shipwreck of the 1600's. Scenes of breath taking views, unspoiled beaches, awesome cliffs, meandering rivers and tranquil lagoons are a nature lover's dream. An abundance of Marine life (most of it edible) can be caught off this rugged coastline. In fact, appreciating these oceanic splendours comes highly recommended.
