There are also many golf courses, shopping complexes and activities, including yacht trips, guaranteed to keep you busy for hours.

Gonubie has its very own bird sanctuary that is home to rare indigenous flora and is a bird lover's paradise with over 160 species - it is also the home of Crowned Crane. Crowned Crane is a stunning retreat, just 15 minutes from the East London city centre. This means that there are a range of amenities, shops and restaurants all in close proximity.
