Amazing little place
The stay was amazing and we could've easily spent a few more days there. The staff are friendly and the accommodations is very nice. We had a leaking roof the first night but we were moved rooms with no issues. The bad road to get there is extremely note worthy, you don't need a 4x4 but it would definitely make it easier. We will definitely be back

You need to be patient on the inbound road, but once you arrive you will be rewarded with a great view and very comfortable facilities. The rooms are clean and simple, all that you need for this great location.

Do it!
Make sure you have a 4x4 to go here! The road is very very rough! Especially if there has been any rain. But it is well worth the drive! Was such a beautiful Amazing place!

Perfect Getaway
You can tell there is a lot of love that is being put into the Swell Eco Lodge - down to the smallest details. The rooms are spacious and clean as well as smartly and elegantly designed. Luxurious especially considering the location which is so rural that the next tar road is about an hour's drive away. Justin makes you feel right at home and all the staff are very friendly. I never wanted to leave, this is the perfect place to relax and get away from it all.

Remote haven
A wonderful place by the Wild Coast. A real haven. But it is remote and the road is really bad. We barely made it with a small car. 4wd strongly recommended

Unter Einheimischen ...
Nach einer für uns unendlich erscheinenden Anreise über eine Schotterpiste mit zahllosen Schlaglöchern, aber gigantischer Landschaft erreichten wir am späten Abend die Swell Eco Lodge und waren über diesen Komfort am Ende der Welt total erstaunt. Justin der Besitzer, hat uns freundlich empfangen und uns alles erklärt und gezeigt. Hätte es nicht wie aus Eimern geschüttet, dann hätten wir den zu unserer Lodge gehörenden Grill für ein schönes Braii genutzt. Die Alternative zum Braii war eine top ausgestattete Küche, genau in der Mitte zwischen zwei Wohneinheiten. Tolle Zimmer in Form einer afrikanischen Rundhütte. Im vorderen Bereich ein großes Bett mit Moskitonetz, im hinteren Bereich Bad und WC. Im Shop konnten wir Getränke kaufen. Am nächsten Morgen bot uns die Holzterrasse einen gigantischen Blick auf die Hütten der Einheimischen, die in direkter Nachbarschaft leben und den indischen Ozean. Schade, dass wir nur eine Nacht dortbleiben konnten und dann weiterziehen mussten.
