The Spotted Grunter Resort

The Spotted Grunter Resort is a family-run business nestled between two mountains, Mt. Thesiger and Mt. Sullivan, in Port St Johns, South Africa. Located next to the Umzimbubu River which flows into the Indian Ocean, it offers a homely stay with home-cooked meals and a family atmosphere. The resort is known for its fishing opportunities, particularly for Grunter, Salmon, Kob, and Garrick. It provides various facilities including a conference centre, a licensed bar called The Anglers Arms, a restaurant serving diverse dishes, and a fully stocked bait and tackle shop. The resort also owns a 19ft deep sea fishing charter boat named G-Spot. One of its main attractions is the annual Sardine Run, offering packages that include accommodation, meals, and ocean expeditions to witness this natural phenomenon along with diverse marine life such as whales, dolphins, sharks, and various fish species.
