Our charming Guest House is situated in a gated estate in Glen Gariff, on the Jikeleza Wild Coast, just 25km from East London on the east coast of South Africa.
Our charming Guest House is an outdoor enthusiast paradise.
The beautifully appointed units will leave you feeling relaxed and recharged, whether you are staying for business, overnight or looking for a long break. The view from the deck, overlooks the river, where you can appreciate the peaceful sounds of birds, watch animals coming to the waters-edge and enjoy the beauty of the sunset.
The beach is a short walk away and is beautiful for long walks, relaxing on the caramel sands and is truly a surfers paradise. Fishermen also enjoy casting a line off the scenic coastline and are able to launch their ski-boats at the nearby Kwelera launch site.

Being blessed with a coastline littered with a variety of uncrowded surf breaks, ranging from A-framing beach breaks to solid point and reef breaks. Waves all year round and most importantly being able to surf in all kinds of winds is a big bonus. "Nahoon Reef has been called the Haleiwa of South Africa."
Main Surf Beach: Yellow Sands
