The 6th Wonder of our world – ‘SUNSHINE COAST’ – is part of the Cacadu District in the Eastern Cape, incorporating nine municipal areas, one of which is Ndlambe. Ndlambe begins just south of Alexandria, inland towards the hamlet of Salem past private game farms, towards Grahamstown. Also down to the Indian Ocean at Woody Cape, and up the coast as far as the Great Fish River, its eastern boundary. Included is the village of Bathurst, 10 minutes from Port Alfred. This area forms the heart of the Sunshine Coast.

It is a malaria free area, has a temperate climate and more recorded sunshine hours than anywhere in the country. Maximum temperatures seldom go above 27° C or 8° C. Summer and winter rainfall regions meet in this area but more rain falls during the summer months. The warm Mozambique current flows down our Indian Ocean coast line and so warm sea temperatures are assured throughout the year.
