Little Arniston is a charming and cozy cottage, ideal for a family holiday and is a mere 5 minute walk to pristine beaches, rock pools and sand dunes and convenience store. The cottage has two bedrooms as well as a "rumpus/family room" so it is the perfect set-up for 2 families sharing. The rumpus room can sleep two children but is not suitable for adults. There is secure parking, Wi-Fi and TV. We are only 20 minutes from East London Airport and less than 15 minutes to OK Foods, Liquor store, Pharmacy and Post Office
I have been a host since 2008 and we own 3 self-catering cottages in Hogsback called Maple Grove. We recently decided to open our holiday home, Little Arniston to guests. The location is perfect and is a mere 5 metres from the Beach. Mike, our security officer will meet and greet you if we are in Hogsback. He is a permanent resident in Kaysers Beach and is your "go to" person for any problems or assistance.
"Smell the sea, and reach for the sky - Let your soul and spirit fly" - a mere 5 minute walk to the beach! The Chalumna/Tyolomnqa River is best known for the Coelacanth that was caught off the mouth on 22nd December 1938 by Captain Hendrik Goosen. Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer, director of the East London museum at the time had it made known to local fishermen that she was interested in seeing any unusual specimens that they came across. Captain Goosen recognized that the fish was indeed very unusual and called Ms Courtenay-Latimer to come and look at it at the East London docks. She hauled the fish back to her museum in a taxi and tried to find it in her books without success. Eager to preserve the fish and, having no facilities at the museum, Courtenay-Latimer took it to the morgue, which refused to assist her. She tried to contact Prof. James Smith, a friend who taught at Rhodes University, to help her identify it, but he was away. Courtenay-Latimer reluctantly sent it to a taxidermist to skin and gut it. When Smith finally arrived on 16 February 1939, he instantly recognized the fish as a coelacanth. "There was not a shadow of a doubt", he said. "It could have been one of those creatures of 200 million years ago come alive again". Smith would give it the scientific name Latimeria chalumnae after his friend and the Chalumna River, where it was found. The remains of the wreck of the Cape St Francis, a fishing trawler, are to be seen at the “Bay” which precedes the “Boulders” on the walk to Swimming Beach. This ship ran aground at night in November 1963 due to tumultuous sea conditions. Fortunately no lives were lost. On 13 March 1967, the South African Airways Flight 406 (SAA Rietbok), flying from Port Elizabeth to East London, crashed into the sea near Kayser's Beach, resulting in the loss of 25 lives. The air accident report speculated, without supporting evidence. The local store, pub, Social Club and beach are all in walking distance of Little Arniston.
