Heaven on earth! What an amazing hidden gem. An off the grid, family friendly stay far from the craziness of day-to-day life with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. There are more stars in the sky at night than I have seen since I was a little girl! Thank you to the Swell Eco Lodge Team and the Ndumbi community for hosting us and making us feel safe and welcome! We will be back!

Well run, clean establishment. The dirt road from Coffee Bay to Mdumbi is very bad and not well sign posted. The dirt road from the lodge down to the beach is badly washed away and needs attention or you'll need to park up on the hill and walk the last part. To get to the main surfing side of the beach you will need to cross the river. This is not very wide nor deep at low tide, but can be dangerous at high tide.

Extremely weak and unpleasant. Poor, untidy, unsanitary, battered, worst experience ever, no maintenance, no hot water, thatched roof falling apart, doors not opening or closing properly. Cow dung covers the whole place. Access route is a nightmare. The place is not even worth 1 star. Weakly over.

Uiters swak en onaangenaam. Swak, onnet, onhigienies, gehawend, slegste ervaring ooit, geen instandhouding, geen warm water, grasdak val uitmekaar, deure kan nie behoorlik oop of toe maak nie. Beesmis lê die hele plek vol. Toegangsroete is 'n nagmerrie. Die plek is nie eers 1 ster werd nie. Swak verby.

Very neat place to stay in pristine Transkei, would like to stay more nights. We from Port St. Johns on a dirt road to the lodge in the rain. Must have a vehicle with large wheels (no need for 4x4) otherwise the drive will be a nightmare for you. Take all your provisions with you because you can't go to the store soon. Nomsa at the lodge did everything in her power to get our accommodation sorted quickly after there was a walk-in customer who took our booked accommodation due to a misunderstanding between Nomsa and Justin.

Baie netjiese blyplek in ongerepte Transkei, sou graag meer nagte wou oorbly. Ons van Port St. Johns op 'n grondpad na die lodge in die reën. Moet 'n voertuig met met groot wiele (nie 4x4 nodig nie) anders gaan die rit 'n nagmerrie vir jou wees. Neem al jou proviant saam want jy kan nie gou winkel toe gaan nie. Nomsa by die lodge het alles in haar vermoë gedoen om ons blyplek gou reg te kry nadat daar 'n inloop kliënt was wat ons bespreekte akkommodasie geneem het weens 'n misverstand tussen Nomsa en Justin.

Breathtaking! Stunning! If you book here, it's very beautiful and the hospitality is also top notch. Thank you good night! Avoid the dirt road.

Asemrowend! Stunning! As julle hier boek dis vreeslik baie mooi en die gasvryheid is ook tops. Dankie lekker slaap! Vermy die grondpad.

Beautiful place where guests can just relax in comfort. We had a great time relaxing at Swell Eco Lodge. Bedrooms, kitchen, etc lack nothing! Justin and Lee-Ann's friendly staff made us feel like we were being properly pampered. The long drive on rough roads was worth it. Children had fun playing on the beautiful beach with new friends - no safety issues.

Pragtige plek waar gaste net kan ontspan in gerief. Ons het heerlik ontspan by Swell Eco Lodge. Slaapkamers, kombuis, ens kort niks! Justin en Lee-Ann se vriendelike staff het ons laat voel ons word behoorlik bederf. Die lang rit op rowwe paaie was die moeite werd. Kinders het lekker op die pragtige strand gespeel saam met nuwe maats - geen veiligheids issues nie.

Incredibly beautiful, well furnished and simply stunning! The unit has everything you can think of. The on-site shop has even more, from medicine to jewellery! The rooms are incredibly beautiful and even romantic. The location is remote and the road is pretty bad, but I'd say it's worth the drive!

Ongelooflik mooi, goed ingerig en sommer net stunning! Die wooneenheid het alles waaraan mens kan dink. Die winkeltjie op die perseel het nog meer, van medisyne, tot juweliersware! Die kamers is ongelooflik mooi en selfs romanties. Die ligging is afgeleë en die pad is redelik sleg, maar ek sou sê dit is die rit werd!

Beautiful. The road to the lodge is extremely challenging, but it is worth it! Beautiful views, modern finishes in the house decorated with good taste. Calm atmosphere. We will definitely visit again.

Beeldskoon. Die pad na die lodge is vreeslik uitdagend, maar dit is die moeite werd! Pragtige uitsigte, moderne afwerkings in die huis wat met goeie smaak versier is. Rustige atmosfeer. Ons sal definitief weer besoek.
