Well run, clean establishment. The dirt road from Coffee Bay to Mdumbi is very bad and not well sign posted.

Uiters swak en onaangenaam.

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.

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.

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.

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!

An incredible experience.
One of the most beautiful places I have ever seen, beautifully furnished place to stay with everything you need and friendly staff and owners. It's only the drive through the Transkei that we had a little trouble with but it was worth it.

Interior of the rondawel is modern and beautiful with everything you need for comfy accommodation.
Lodge runs like clockwork - the rondawels go well with the scenery and the garden is stunning and well-maintained. The communal kitchen is spotless has everything you need. We had fun times at the pool table with the big-screen TV for an extra treat. The area is beautiful and the ocean is very accessible. The staff is so friendly and helpful.

Exceptional accommodation in a beautiful unspoilt part of the Wild Coast.
I/we have rarely if ever had a more special stay. A real little gem. Tucked away and slightly difficult to reach, this is very much quality accommodation in delightful, well-equipped, spacious rondavels that have everything you need and are located in the most beautiful, unspoilt part of the Wild Coast. Eco Lodge manages to perfectly operate their holiday gem with minimal (perhaps only positive) impact on the environment. An inspiring setting that we plan to return to often.

Comfortable, but there is a lot of room for improvement.
The environment and nature are beautiful and unspoiled. There is a lot of room for improvement regarding the rondavel where we stayed. For example, there were no chairs to sit on, no small table, no towel rails or a closet in which to hang clothes. The kitchen shared with another rondavel has only one table which makes the situation awkward and impractical if both rondavels are occupied by families/groups.

Stay was satisfactory.
It is definitely hard to reach. It is located in the middle of the remote residential areas. The lodge is for the adventurer.
