Thomas River, named in 1801, takes its name from an English deserter, Thomas Bentley. Part of Van Der Kemps missionary, Bentley was killed by a poison Bushman Arrow while crossing the river, thus duly named Thomas River.
We are situated halfway between Stutterheim and Cathcart, about an hour and 20 minutes drive from East London.
