Welcome to the Captains Cabin Pub & Restaurant at Cremorne in Port St Johns. Whether you are staying with us, staying elsewhere or are one of the locals we sincerely hope you enjoy your meal here.
The Captains Cabin is named in honour of the founder of "Cremorne", Captain Sydney Turner who died here on September 15th 1901 and whose gravesite is on the grounds below the pool deck.
Sidney Turner immigrated to South Africa from Norfolk on the east coast of England as a 16 year old in 1864. He led a checkered and exciting life of adventure and enterprise. Some of his exploits include farming, fishing, prospecting, storekeeping and transport riding. He has the distinction of being the first man to attempt salvaging one of South Africa's most famous wrecks, the East Indiaman "Grosvenor" which sank on the 4 August 1782 at Lambasi Bay 50km north of Port St Johns, from which he recovered many coins and cannons.
This property was purchased in 1995 and a couple of years were spent rebuilding and restoring it to the "Cremorne" you are now experiencing. We would appreciate any input that you may have which will assist us to achieve our aim of producing the highest quality of service and hospitality at this unique and wonderful destination.
