Nestled within the expansive 7,500-hectare (18,532-acre) Mkambati Nature Reserve along the Wild Coast in the Eastern Cape, GweGwe Beach Lodge’s exclusive concession resides in a safeguarded region renowned for its rich variety of ecosystems. From coastal forests to grasslands and riverine habitats, there are countless captivating corners awaiting exploration. Situated on a stretch of coastline that is as untamed as it is beautiful, between the dramatic cliffs, tumbling waterfalls, pockets of dense swamp forest and crystal-clear waters, you can enjoy a day of wildlife watching, beaching and exploring, before being lulled to sleep by the Indian Ocean.
Attracting those seeking a more remote environment, and designed to blend into the environment, GweGwe offers laidback luxury, paired with locally inspired design. The lodge boasts nine beautifully appointed en suite rooms, each with double vanity, bathtub, indoor and outdoor showers, fireplace, lounge area, small garden, private deck and 6 m (19 ft) length pool with exquisite ocean views.
