Take one of South Africa’s most beautiful reserves on the unspoiled Wild Coast, add plains game, waterfalls, gorgeous beach, crystal clear rivers, just 9 barefoot luxury villas … and chill !
The coastal vista from your private villa is so good that you may want to enjoy your G&T right there and not move. However, you are spoiled for choice: wonderful hiking through a unique biosphere, swimming, canoeing or kayaking, biking, exploring the waterfalls and cave, game drives, snorkeling or diving, visiting the vulture colony or fishing. Bird life is very good and the game includes Zebra, Eland, Wildebeest, Nyala and Bontebok.

It is a wonderful place to view the Sardine Run, especially with a respected marine biologist guiding you above or below the water. It is a fantastic area to view migrating whales. With a protected Marine Reserve alongside, fishing and the marine biodiversity is outstanding. It is also one of just a few places in the world where plains game can be viewed with dolphin surfing in the background!
Getting there is part of the adventure…you can fly in, take a boat from Port Edward, use a helicopter or self drive.
