A small, rustic, eco-minded family-run spot which lies on the eastern side of the Mdumbi River. Wake up to mind-blowing views of the ocean, beach, rare mangroves and forest-lined river. Surf the perfect right hand point breaks or does the spectacular 3 hour hike to Coffee Bay. The rooms are equipped with singles, doubles and a dorm.
