Mansfield Private Reserve

The 3-star Mansfield Private Reserve is situated along the Kowie River, approximately 11 kilometres from Port Alfred.  The vegetation and animal life are typical of Eastern Cape bushveld.  The indigenous aloe grows in abundance on the farm. 

The reserve is also popular with day visitors.  For a small fee, enjoy a self-guided game drive or braai at one of the designated picnic spots near the swimming pool.
