They have it got it right for a break away from reality. It... More

The nature and the beach are paradise like. The adjacient Khosa village is very beautiful and interesting. We specially enjoyed horse riding and the tour to the village with a... More

Ok, I didn't actually stay here. I was invited over by some people I met when I was staying across the river. I visited a couple of times and sort of fell in love with the place. Intimate, feels more like being at someone's house. The vegetables for the salads being served up were grown in the backyard, everything was... More

Listen if you go to Coffee Bay this is by far your best budget option. I have gone through on several occassions and the alternative is a noisy over packed place to see people vomit and have your stuff stolen. Sugar Loaf is much more laid back and has a great vibe and a nice view of the ocean. The... More

This is without a doubt the worst backpackers I have ever stayed at. The owners are clearly just out to make a quick buck, by completely overcharging and squashing in as many tents as possible in their back yard. There is no shade so you get baked out of your tent at 6 in the morning. There was also no... More
