Coffee Shack

You will find Coffee Shack nestled on the beach where the Mbomvu River meets the sea. Most of us here at Coffee Shack have been lucky enough to grow up on the Wild Coast, and we love sharing our special world of unique culture, breathtaking scenery, friendly smiles and non-stop fun.

Travellers can eat, drink and be merry at Coffee Shack. If you’re looking for some ‘breathing space’ instead, ask for a quiet thatched rondavel with a sea view on the ‘other’ side of the river.
