The name Emoyeni means "place of the wind" in Zulu.
Mid-2007 Kobus eventually acquired the use of a piece of land from the Mbila tribal authority after a two year process following the tribal land process.
In October 2007 we started with the development of the property and completed the first phase in mid December. The kitchen area, ablutions and tented accommodation were completed.The facilities were immediately opened to the public.
In 2008 we built the first en-suite chalet and two en-suit rooms and extended the facilities.
During 2009 we added more en-suite chalets, a pool and a classroom.
More chalets and facilities are planned for 2010.

Great White Shark diving is strictly regulated by the authorities. It is absolutely safe and done in two areas namely Gansbaai & Mossel Bay. Approximately 12km offshore from Gansbaai there are two islands situated next to each other. Dyer Island is a unique area, where chances to view the great white shark is exceptionally high. The sharks are more active during the winter months from May through to October. Water temperatures are actually better during the winter reaching 16C. Other wildlife species like seals, gannets, cormorants, penguins, whales and dolphins are also likely to be sighted.
