Woody Cape

Nestled between Alexandria and Addo's coast, lies an Eastern Cape backpacking gem. 

Not because it's a short drive from Grahamstown. Not because it's   reasonably priced (human concerns, of course). All because, they allow 
and welcome my kind. 

Apparently this is uncommon...but, who wouldn't want me in their house?

I also heard the humans rave about how relaxed the owners are. 
Apparently this is common about backpacking; hence all the more love.

Technically, dogs aren't allowed on the beach; that is Addo Park's property. 

The private accommodation is very private and rustic; which means my muddy paw prints didn't aggravate the humans too much.

Our visit was during the winter, but for the summer time there is a swimming pool, a volleyball net, an outdoor bar and a stage.

There is also loads of camping space if you're in the mood to rough it;
beneath me, of course.

Activities:

- Me: Barking at horses, cows or monkeys, chilling at the bar while the humans drink (rude, right?) and sneaking onto the beach.

- Humans: Swimming, playing pool, hiking, canoeing, horse riding, volley ball, chilling at the bar and keeping the dogs off the beach.
