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.

Looking for even more reasons to visit? With so many good sunny days and all that warm water, our surf instructor can tempt you with a surf lesson and our local guides can lead the way on one of our many fun and interesting day trips.

Amapondo Backpackers

Amapondo is nestled in the forest on top of a hill overlooking a meandering river and the only swimming beach.
Listen to the sound of the crashing waves, the call of the monkeys and bird song, whist lying in a hammock taking in the view of the ocean.

Every day, our guide takes guests on a free hike to one of PSJ’s attractions - Silaka Nature Reserve, Bulolo Waterfall, the Gap, the lighthouse and a township walk with drinks at the shebeen(bar).

There’s still time to explore PSJ’s history at the museum, a surf lesson or a surf with the developmental surf school.

Later, we drive out for sundowners to the airstrip that has amazing 360° views of Port St Johns. Spend a night in the village or find some fun back at Amapondo at one of our theme parties, drumming around the fire or listening to SA bands.
Be part of our community project and volunteer for a day or longer.

Our family and double rooms, dorms and camping all have sea views.
