Kenton On Sea at a glance
The village of Kenton on Sea started life as a coastal resort― a camping spot for the descendants of
1820 settlers who came down by wagon from farms and villages as far afield as Bedford to spend
their Christmas holidays on the beach. Strandloper middens near the Bushmans River Mouth are
evidence of the fact that the San once camped there too. Today, apart from the village that was
developed as a residential area in the 1940s, the coast remains as unspoiled and “undeveloped” as it
was then. Infrastructure is minimal and merely there to maintain Blue Flag status for Kenton’s two
main beaches. A walk along the pristine shore at the end of a hot day to catch the breeze and
restore the soul is the same as it was for the Strandlopers, the Settlers, the residents and
Nestled between the Bushman’s and the Kariega river mouths, and bounded by the Joan Muirhead
nature conservancy on its southern coastal boundary, Kenton’s spread has been contained. Plot
clearance is regulated by the Department of Forestry which strives to save as many protected
‘melkbos’ trees from each builder’s chainsaw as possible. All of this gives Kenton its unique
ecological charm as a resort along the Eastern Cape’s Sunshine Coast. In the stillness of the night one
often hears the call of a night jar, the hooting of a Cape Eagle owl, and the gentle ‘chirping’ of a
chorus tree frogs. It’s a charm that is fiercely protected by Kenton’s 900 property owners and their
highly committed ratepayers association, Rotary club, Business Forum and Round Table. To this day
these organisations run projects to keep the town clean and orderly and to save the tiny, vulnerable
blue duiker and a few other remaining species that still inhabit the forests.
While many of the properties are holiday homes, the rest are owned by retirees and young families
who have chosen a more relaxed and laidback lifestyle. There is a creative crèche, Bushken, for pre-
schoolers as well as a well-run and educationally-innovative Primary School, which arranges a variety
of sporting and other extra-mural activities including a very popular soapbox derby in its playing
fields every year. At secondary level, families can send their children to Port Alfred’s highly-regarded
secondary school some 26 kms away. Alternatively, there are a number of distinguished private
schools in Grahamstown some 60 kms inland. While Kenton has a medical centre with a resident
medical doctor, a dentist and a pharmacy, there are NetCare private-public partnership hospitals in
both Port Alfred and Grahamstown.
For holidaymakers and residents alike, Kenton offers a variety of outdoor and holiday activities such
as boating, fishing, windsurfing, horse riding, hiking, birding and swimming at Blue Flag beaches,
with a safe and sheltered lagoon for littlies at the Kariega river mouth. There are a variety of active
sporting clubs: angling, tennis and bowls. The churches are well represented. Within easy motoring
distance there is the Royal Port Alfred Golf Club with its magnificent views of the Sunshine Coast, the
Fish River Country Club and Woody Cape section of Addo Elephant Park. On the town’s doorstep
there are game farms and private game reserves which offer cruises up the river, followed by lunch
and a game drive. There is a marina and a floating restaurant on the Bushmans River. In town there
are coffee shops, restaurants and a pub. Last but not least there is “Homewoods” where you can sit
on the deck on a Sunday morning and eat a leisurely breakfast as you watch the ebb and flow of the
tide as it washes in and out of the lagoon at Kariega river mouth. In the words of the Eastern Cape’s
poet Chris Mann: “Calm rinses steadily through you. What follows could be grace. And then you’re
ready, to turn and go back into the hurly-burly.” (From his poem, “Heartlands”).
For those who need culture and a night life, Grahamstown is within striking distance. Once a year
you can enjoy the “once-in-lifetime” experience of “ten days of amazing” , the internationally
renowned National Festival of Arts held there over ten days at the end of June each year. And both
Port Alfred and Grahamstown have a variety of amenities, bookshops, shopping malls and theatres.
In both these towns there are clubs and communities that arrange talks, music concerts, art
exhibitions and other cultural events all year round. The science departments, scientific institutions
and environmental organisations surrounding Rhodes University provide a constant stream of public
lectures, talks and outings for those who want to further their interest in many things scientific.
Houses in Kenton range greatly in size, style and cost. Houses at the top end of the market generally
have river frontage with stunning views of the river mouths and the sea. A limited few are clustered
along a ridge on the town’s south western corner with views of the sea. Throughout the village there
are a range of cottages and bungalows, ideal for the average family or holiday-home owner. SEEFF
property Kenton on Sea boasts a wide selection of all these properties for sale ranging from
impressive villas and mansions, set on spacious plots with magnificent views of the sea and river
estuaries, to cottages and homes tucked away in various places throughout the village. SEEFF also
offers vacant plots for development: some exclusive, while others are located in secure, gated
developments within the village or across the two rivers in eco-lifestyle developments. SEEFF also
has a range of holiday-homes and properties to let.
Ek het die sleutelwoorde gekursifiseer waar hulle voorkom in die teks. Dit sal goed wees as hulle
almal op die openingsbladsy kan verskyn.
Ek het die name onderstreep van plekke wat as skakels kan dien vir verdere inligting, bv Addo
Olifantpark, of Grahamstad skole. Wie ookal die webtuiste opstel moet die skakels invoer.
Die inligting oor die Netcare Hospitale word in geel gemerk want dit moet as skakel dien en
miskien ontwikkel word.
Kenton­on­Sea het begin as 'n vakansie­oord – 'n kampeerplek vir die afstammelinge van die
1820 Setlaars wat met ossewaens see toe gekom het van plase en dorpe in die omgewing,
sommiges so ver soos Bedford, om hul kersvakansie by die see deur te bring. Naby die mond
van die Boesmansrivier is daar tekens van Strandloper­skulpashope wat daarop dui dat hulle ook
eens hier gekamp het. Die kus is vandag nog net so ongerep en onontwikkeld soos destyds
behalwe vir die dorp wat in die 1940's as woongebied tot stand gekom het. Die infrastruktuur op
die strand is minimaal en slegs daar om Kenton se twee Blouvlagstrande in stand te hou.
Vakansiegangers en inwoners kan nog vandag, soos die Strandlopers en Setlaars van ouds,
wandel op 'n ongerepte strand .
Die dorp lê tussen die Boesmans­ en die Kariegarivermonde en word begrens deur the Joan
Muirhead Natuurreservaat aan die suidelike kusgrens. Gevolglik is uitbreiding in Kenton beperk.
Die skoonmaak van erwe word gereguleer deur die Departement van Bosbou wat poog om
soveel moontlik van die beskermde Melkhoutbome te weerhou van al wat 'n bouer is se
kettingsaag. Dit alles verleen aan Kenton sy unieke ekologiese karakter. In die stilte van die nag
kan mens dikwels die roep van die naguiltjie hoor, die toet van die Kaapse ooruil en die sagte
getjirp van 'n koor boompaddas. Hierdie karakter word entoesiasties beskerm deur Kenton se
900 eiendomeienaars en hulle hoogs toegeweide belastingbetalersvereniging, Rotariërs,
Sakeforum en Tafelronde. Tans bedryf hierdie organisasies projekte om die dorp skoon en
ordelik te hou en om die klein bedreigde blouduiker en 'n paar ander spesies wat nog in die bosse
voorkom te beskerm.
Baie van die eiendomme is vakansiehuise, maar ander word besit deur afgetredenes of jong
families wat 'n rustiger lewe verlang. Daar is 'n innoverende crèche, Bushken, vir voorskoolse
kinders en 'n goeie byderwetse Laerskool wat 'n verskeidenheid sport en ander buitemuurse
aktiwiteite aanbied insluitende 'n baie populêre jaarlikse kaskarreisies. Op sekondêre vlak kan
kinders die Port Alfred Hoërskool bywoon sowat 26km ver. Dit staan bekend as 'n goeie skool
waar kinders tot matriek kan skoolgaan. Alternatiewelik is daar 'n aantal bekende privaatskole in
Grahamstad sowat 60km die binneland in. Kenton het 'n mediese sentrum met 'n lokale mediese
dokter, 'n tandarts en 'n apteek en verder is daar 'n Netcare Hospitaal wat in vennooskap met die
regering bedryf word in beide Port Alfred en Grahamstad.
Kenton bied 'n verskeidenheid buitemuurse en vakansie­aktiwiteite aan vir vakansiegangers
sowel as inwoners, soos bootry, visvang, seilplankry, perdry, stap, voëlkyk en swem. Die dorp
spog natuurlik met twee Blouvlagstrande en 'n veilige en beskutte strandmeer vir kleintjies by die
mond van die Kariegarivier. Daar is verskeie bedrywige sportklubs soos visvang­, tennis­ en
rolbalklubs. Daar is verskeie Kerke teenwoordig in die dorp. Die Royal Port Alfred gholfklub met
sy pragtige uitsigte oor die Sonskynkus is binne maklike ryafstand van Kenton en so ook die Fish
River Country Club en Woody Cape gedeelte van die Addo Olifantpark. Daar is wildplase in die
omgewing en private wilparke bied bootritte aan in die riviere wat vir lang afstande bevaarbaar is.
Hierby ingesluit is middagete en 'n wildbesigtigingstoer. Daar is ook 'n marina en 'n drywende
restaurant op die Boesmansrivier. Daar is koffiewinkels, restaurante en 'n pub in die dorp. Laaste
maar nie die minste nie is daar “Homewoods” waar jy op 'n Sondagoggend op die dek kan sit en
'n luilekker ontbyt kan geniet terwyl die gety by die strandmeer aan die Kariegamond in­ en
uitspoel. In die woorde van die Oos­Kaapse digter Chris Mann: “Calm rinses steadily through
you. What follows could be grace. And then you’re ready, to turn and go back into the hurly­burly.”
(Uit die gedig, “Heartlands”).
Vir die wat 'n behoefte het aan kultuur en die naglewe, is Grahamstad binne trefafstand.
Eenmaal 'n jaar kan jy die unieke “ten days of amazing” ervaar wanneer die internasionaal-
beroemde National Festival of Arts aan die einde van Junie elke jaar oor 'n periode van 10 dae in
Grahamstad gehou word. En beide Port Alfred en Grahamstad het verskeie geriewe soos
boekwinkels, winkelsentrums en teaters. In beide hierdie dorpe is daar klubs en verenigings wat
praatjies reël asook musiekkonserte, kunsuitstallings en ander kulturele funksies die hele jaar
deur. Die wetenskapsdepartemente, wetenskapsinstansies en omgewingsorganisasies verbonde
aan Rhodes Universiteit bied 'n konstante stroom van openbare lesings, praatjies en uitstappies
vir díe met 'n belangstelling in die wetenskap.
Daar is'n wye spektrum van huise beskikbaar in Kenton. Huise aan die bopunt van die mark is
gewoonlik op die rivier geleë met asemrowende uitsigte oor die riviermond en die see. 'n Paar
huise bo­op 'n duin in die suid­westelike hoek van die dorp het pragtige uitsigte oor die see. Daar
is ook woonhuise of vakansiehuise vir 'n gemiddelde familie oral weggesteek in die dorp. SEEFF
Property Kenton­on­Sea kan voorsien in al hierdie behoeftes of dit nou 'n spoggerige villa op 'n
ruim erf is met heerlike uitsigte of gewoon net 'n woon­ of vakansiehuis iewers in die dorp.
SEEFF bied ook leë erwe vir ontwikkeling aan: party eksklusief terwyl ander geleë is in veilige
omheinde dorpsontwikkelings. Erwe is ook beskikbaar in eko­leefstyl ontwikkelings aan die
oorkant van beide riviere. SEEFF het ook 'n reeks vakansiehuise en eiendomme te huur.
