LOCATION & GETTING HERE

Location

The Wild Coast is an unspoiled natural treasure. Visitors can explore its renowned beauty on foot, by 4×4 or horseback before embarking on fishing expeditions or snorkelling and diving outings. The seaside villages along the Wild Coast have been the traditional holiday haunt of families for many generations.

 

We are situated on the North side of the Mdumbi River which is one of the most rural and unspoilt areas left of the Wild Coast coastline. We have other gorgeous beaches around the area such as Lwandile, Presley’s Bay. Coffee Bay & Hole in the Wall are just an hours drive away from us. 

 

If you would like to experience the real Wild Coast with non-crowded line ups and real African culture, here is the place to be.
