From Murraysburg, the R63 continues south-east for 89 kilometres to cross into the Eastern Cape and enter the city of Graaff-Reinet.

In Graaff-Reinet Central, the R63 meets the N9 National Route and the R61 Road and all 3 routes share one road southwards before the R63 becomes its own road south-south-east in the southern suburbs of Graaff-Reinet. As the R63 enters Graaff-Reinet, it bypasses the Nqweba Dam and it crosses the Sundays River 3 times (before, during and after sharing a road with the N9/R61). From Graaff-Reinet, the R63 heads southwards for 23 kilometres to meet the northern terminus of the R75 Road.

The R63 heads eastwards for 43 kilometres, through Bedford, to the town of Adelaide, where it crosses the Koonap River and meets the R344 Road. They are one road south-east for almost 4 kilometres before the R344 becomes its own road southwards. From Adelaide, the R63 heads east-south-east for 31 kilometres to enter Fort Beaufort and meet the R67 Road west of the town centre. They are one road for 650 metres up to a t-junction, where the R67 turns north and the R63 turns south to cross the Kat River. Shortly after, the R63 turns eastwards. From Fort Beaufort town centre, the R63 heads eastwards for 22 kilometres to the town of Alice, where it meets the R345 Road in the town centre.

From the R345 split in Alice, the R63 heads eastwards for 54 kilometres, through Middledrift and Dimbaza, to King William's Town in the Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality, where it meets the N2 National Route. They are one road eastwards as they enter the city centre of King William's Town, crossing the Buffalo River. They become Buffalo Road southwards and at the Grey Street junction, they meet the R346 Road. All 3 routes become Grey Street eastwards up to the Alexandra Road junction, where the R346 becomes Alexandra Road northwards, the N2 becomes Alexandra Road southwards and the R63 remains on the easterly road, which changes its name to Maitland Road and heads north-east for another 3 kilometres to Bhisho, the capital of the Eastern Cape.

The R63 heads north-east for another 25 kilometres to pass the town of Kei Road and meet the N6 National Route. It proceeds eastwards for 44 kilometres, bypassing Komga, to end at another junction with the N2 National Route.
