Situated just 5kms from Storms River Bridge, Protea Hotels Tsitsikamma Village offers a fun-filled adventure option for the more active GUEST and is popular both with the incentive and conference groups.

De Oude Martha Restaurant

Martha was a child of the Tsitsikamma. She was born on the 6th of February 1942 on the farm Doriskraal. As a child she learned the secret of cooking good, traditional South African Food from her mother, Mary-Jane, who herself was a natural cook. Today, the Inn still remains loyal to the legacy Martha Makwela left and continues in the tradition of good, home cooked food.
