Storms River Village

by mke1963 - last update: Jan 29, 2006

Often confused for the beachside Storms River Mouth village, the old village of Storms River Village is a beautiful little forest village, although now it exists simply to serve the passing tourists.
The Storms River Adventures Company has set up shop at one end of the short street, offering a range of spectacular tours in and around the forest, including the well-known Canopy Tours, where visitors can swing around and ride zip-wires 10 metres up in the treetops of the indigenous forest. They also offer 3 hour tractor rides into the forest. Next door, a small museum is devoted to old Cadillacs, and three rather spectacular 1958, 1959 and 1960 Cadillacs are lovingly displayed alongside a much more mundane 1970s version. The shops here are painted in gaudy colours, making a bright change from the rather sombre colours of the forest all around.
The Tsitsikamma Hotel makes a great place to have lunch or coffee, with its stunning gardens much-loved by sunbirds and sugarbirds. The hotel also holds Storm River?s pub. Should a political discussion be desirable, the local ANC Constituency office sits at the end of the row.
Just about every house here is a guest house, but this is a popular place for vacationers so bookings are essential in the peak months.

(Storms River Village isn't on the VT Database. Coldstream is the nearest place that is)
