PONTA DE OURO BEACH RESORT ( Motel Do Mar)

In Ponta do Ouro you will be sure to find beautiful white beaches, dense dune forests, amazing diving and an ever-stretching azure sea. A very traditional open air market, several "cantinhas" (little shops) and eager curio sellers will quench your thirst for shopping before you make your way to one of the rustic restaurants in town.

ACCOMMODATION; Self catering Our serviced cabanas are perfectly located a few steps from the beach. They sleep up to 4 people and have bedding, crockery and cutlery for 4 people. Each cabana has an en-suite bathroom, kitchenette with a small fridge (freezer compartment) and parking for your vehicle.

Ponta do Ouro is best accessed through the Kosi Bay border. The border is approximately 630kms from Jo’burg and 460kms from Durban and is open 7 days a week .Between the border and the hotel a 4x4 vehicle is required due to the soft sandy roads. Should you not have one; a border transfer can be arranged. Your vehicle can be left at the parking lot just before the border at a charge of ±R35.00 per day. The parking lot is privately run and secure.

Please allow ample travelling time to get to the Border before it closes as road conditions aren't always good and can slow journey time down considerably. There are often potholes, lots of trucks and also cattle in the road. Recommended travel time from Jo'burg to the Border - 7 hours.

Things to do in the area:

• Diving (which, of course, is what Ponta do Ouro is known for).
• 4X4 Scenic Route - go for a drive through the dense pristine dune forest, enjoying the bird life, on soft sand tracks - don't underestimate the challenges that this route offers you.
• A walk along the beach might bring you face to face with a turtle laying her eggs (from October - December).
• Dolphin or Whale Shark search - once found you will be able to swim with these magnificent creatures.
• Maputo Elephant Reserve is some 50km north of Ponta Do Ouro - the Elephants are very shy. There are also Duiker and other small antelope.
• Deep sea fishing - catch the big one. Use your own boat or make use of a fishing charter. Get your license from the maritime office in town.
• Enjoy a tasty meal at one of Ponta’s restaurants or watch the sunset with a cocktail in hand. Please remember that not many restaurants accept credit cards and it is recommended that you take a sufficient amount of cash along. There is no bank in Ponta.
