Lovely place.

This is a great place to stay in Tofo. It is not excelent because of small missing details: there is no pool, and there is no air conditioning. The bungalows are great (just like on the picture), with fantastic view on the beach and the...More

Lovely place with the beach front. Amazing view.

It was a long way from Maputo, so we arrived quite late to check-in. Unfortunately, we had to discuss our reservation with the owner over the phone as the person at the property (with little english) did not seem to be aware of our arrival....More

Beautiful room and amazing breakfast!

The Ocean view room was amazing, the breakfast was 5 star quality, all the staff were super friendly and Tofo Brach is such a beautiful area, so untouched for such an idyllic place, would go back in a heart beat and do it all again!

Hidden Gem

Located in the heart of Tofo. One of the more upmarket accommodation offerings in the area. The beach is about 50 steps down the dune. Abundance of restaurants 5 min away. If you can secure accommodation, snap it up because the rooms go quickly.
