Vacation rentals in Mkambati

We absolutely loved out stay at Protea Ridge. Mark is an exceptional host, he communicated with us regularly before we arrived already when we made enquiries about the signal strength on the property, he regularly informed us of progress made by Vodacom to install a tower that now offers 4G internet in the unit. He went way above and beyond even before we arrived. The actual location is amazing, and makes for a great holiday experience and a fantastic trip. The beaches are beautiful and the entire setting just feels like something that is from a different planet. I cannot recommend this place strongly enough. We stayed in the Khaylitsha Unit, and it had absolutely everything you could want for including a deep freeze, and even a full DSTV access which was handy for the kids on a rainy day. Mark would check in with us regularly to ensure that we were enjoying our stay and would continually offer helpful tips and trips in the area to ensure that we got the most out of our stay. The road in was treacherous due to the fact that it had rained for a couple of days and was busy raining as we went in. I would strongly recommend you consider the weather when making your travel arrangements, and that you go with a high clearance vehicle. When it is not raining the roads aren't too bad and the trip could be made with relative ease. On the day that we were supposed to leave, we experienced some heavy rain and Mark was kind enough to extend our stay at no additional cost and EVEN invited us over for an amazing dinner with him and his family when we ran out of food. The hospitality was truly like nothing you've ever seen. Cannot recommend this highly enough, please do yourself a favor and go and have a great experience!

A lovely place to stay, simple but comfortable with a great view, and very safe. The people are friendly and the fact that the place like the others around is dependent on rainwater made us realise how easy it is to use water sparingly and to reuse it for other purposes. Everything we needed was provided. The roads require at least a high-rise vehicle with diff lock. The estuary and beach are a short distance from the place. The area has some nice walks, and we visited other scenic destinations (including beaches) within a hour’s slow drive. We hope to return some day.

We loved our stay at the cottage! a truly fantastic location, Elmarie and co were great hosts, helpful in every way. The cottage is a well thought out and comfortable space for those who love the outdoors, love to be surrounded by nature, and love to take time to wind down and relax. ps. the dogs added bonus points to our stay.

Natalie and her staff really made our stay at Amapondo great. They were very kind and gave us good conversations and helpful tips. The place is a bit outside of town, which made it nice and quiet. During winter, the Crystal House was a bit chilly, but there were enough blankets to keep us warm.

This place is for those who like uncluttered and uncomplicated vacations where one can slow right down and enjoy a stress-free pace to the daily routine. It was great to spend time in the middle of Mboyti village but to still have the privilege of access to running water, hot showers, clean and spacious accommodation and a short walk to spectacular beaches. A wonderful Wild Coast experience.

Beautiful well decorated cottage. Stunning views from the veranda and great open plan kitchen which is well thought out with everything you need. Bedrooms a good size with comfortable beds. Added bonus is the lovely Sisipho. Her smiling friendly face a treat. Lots of fabulous fresh crayfish, oysters and muscles offered by the locals daily. Beautiful beach a 5 min walk. Although quite a hike back up to the cottage. Plenty to do. Tasmin and Mike fantastic hosts. Highly recommended

We had such an amazing stay at this beach house! The location was perfect,just steps from the sand with beautiful ocean views. The house itself was clean and cozy. One of the best parts was the housekeeping service. it was such a nice touch to come back to a fresh and tidy space after a day at the beach. The whole experience felt relaxing and effortless. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Absolutely loved our stay! The place was beautiful, peaceful, and just a short walk to the beach—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The decor was stylish and thoughtful, adding a warm and cozy touch. Our host went above and beyond with excellent recommendations for restaurants and local activities, which really made our trip special. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a serene escape with great hospitality!
