Cracker Bay Bed & Breakfast is awesome

The best beach holidays are those where the accommodation, entertainment and facilities are within an easy walk of the beach. Cracker Bay Bed & Breakfast is just such a place.

Located on the beach side of Cracker Bay Road in Pumula on the awesome South Coast, this B&B has direct access to the beach. Pumula Beach is known for its pristine natural beauty and its mix of sandy beaches and rocky outcrops.

Some of my best childhood memories were spent on these beaches and I can remember spending hours looking into the miniature aquariums that each rock pool created.

CRACKER BAY BED & BREAKFAST HAS AMAZING ROOMS

The Cracker Bay Bed & Breakfast is large and modern with a huge undercover entertainment area and a large swimming pool. The property is set in a lush tropical garden filled with palm and banana trees. The property is fairly isolated, so expect peace and quiet.

There are five double en-suite, balconied bedrooms with one of them being a spacious Executive Suite. The Executive Suite has its own lounge, dressing room plus a full bathroom with spa bath and access to two private balconies.

Each of the rooms has a sea view as the house is set well above sea level. The best views are obviously from those rooms on the higher levels. The rooms also come equipped with air conditioning, bar fridge and full DStv.

ADVENTUROUS ACTIVITIES TO ENJOY

A morning on the beach, a quick dip in the pool, opening a cold one and then spending a lazy afternoon chatting with friends is my idea of a perfect holiday. Cracker Bay Bed & Breakfast is just my kind of place as all this is possible.

There is a large undercover seating facility to relax at while reading, chatting or just watching ocean. There is also a bar and a billiards room with a variety games to choose from such as darts, table tennis, and volleyball.

If you want to get out, there is a lot to do in the area. Oribi Gorge offers plenty of adventurous activities and golf courses abound in the area. Port Shepstone is 15 minutes away for all your shopping needs.

My advice is to spend your day on the beach or around the pool and just relax.

Guests can stay on a self-catering or B&B basis and extra meals can be organised by arrangement.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
