Kalander Hut

Kalander Hut is the welcoming first stop for hikers on the Tsitsikamma Trail, nestled within the lush embrace of South Africa’s Tsitsikamma National Park. This quaint hut marks the end of a brief yet scenic 3.6km journey from Nature’s Valley, offering a serene retreat just a stone’s throw from the sun-kissed beach. As hikers traverse the coastal forest and cross the Nature’s Valley beach, they are greeted by the forested gateway to Kalander Hut, a perfect base for afternoon beach activities or simply soaking in the tranquil lagoon. The hut’s proximity to the beach makes it an ideal spot for a refreshing swim or a leisurely picnic, setting the tone for a relaxed and invigorating start to the multi-day hiking experience.
