Chintsa Accommodation (Cintsa) - Eastern Cape, Amatola & Stormberg
Lying on over 12km of natural forest filled with cycads and yellowwood trees, ideal for birding and hiking, and unspoilt sandy beaches perfect for sunbathing and fishing, Chintsa, formerly known as Cintsa, is the start of the magnificent Eastern Cape, Wild Coast.
Chintsa is in actual fact two little villages lying on the banks of the Chintsa River and estuary - Chintsa East lies on the north shore of the Chintsa River (Cintsa), nestled between the lagoon and indigenous forest, and Chintsa West the less developed of the two, lies to the south of Chintsa River. Widely known to have the 'best weather in the world’, Cintsa's tropical year-round climate makes for mild temperatures, ideal for 'year after year' return visits to this beautiful part of the Eastern Cape.
