Swell Tours Guestlodge

Our Wild Coast accommodation is owned by Pro Surfer, Justin Sanders and his partner, Lee-Ann Smith.

For the surf adventurer out there who is searching for un-crowded waves in rugged, unspoiled surroundings we offer the Transkei as an attractive destination. Situated between KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape, the Transkei is one of South Africa's last untapped resources when it comes to surf travel. Transkei is for those who wish to escape from the cities and crowds and go exploring the many secluded coves, bays and points for good, quality surf and the most spectacular beaches.

The Guest Lodge is situated on the North side of the Mdumbi River.

We offer self-catering prices as well as fully inclusive catering prices.

Our kitchen has a freezer, fridge, stove, cutlery & crockery, toast & kettle - we run off a generator. A lovely chill room and eating area is next to the kitchen with a spectacular view. Braaiing is no problem as we have a huge braai and chill area as well as a bonfire!

Distance from the beach & River: 2 minute drive to the beach and a 6 minute walk!

Guided Day Tours:-
We have a variety of day tours available from our Guest Lodge - to view these tours click on the Wild Coast: Day Tours tab under What we offer, on the right hand side of our website.

Help out the locals:
Please remember when travelling to this spectacular destination, the locals are who make it special! Please help the community in anyway you can - for example, giving tips for work well done, employing our team (below), bringing old clothes, books, pens, paper - you name it, the locals will be so grateful!
