About Swell Eco Lodge
Swell Eco Lodge offers self-catering accommodation in the Wild Coast, ideal for couples, groups and families. Set within the rolling hills of Mngcibe (north side of the Mdumbi River), we invite you to enjoy pure relaxation and fun while supporting a green way of life.
Spectacular sea views, breaching whales, roaming cattle and a view of rural life in this wonderful village is only a part of your holiday experience! We offer many activities for those who want to be a bit more active and explore the pristine beaches, rivers and ocean.
Self Catering Accommodation
The newly renovated lodge offers self-catering (catering on request – no restaurant on-site) accommodation, ideal for couples, groups and families who want to experience the true beauty of the Wild Coast while enjoying the comforting luxuries everyone deserves on holiday.
The lodge comprises 2 sea view rondavels, 6 sea view duplex units and a luxury family/honeymoon rondavel. The traditional Rondavel structures blend into its beautiful surroundings and the interiors are modern.
Facilities
Swell Eco Lodge has its own water supply directly from the land and makes use of water collection tanks. All guest amenities cleaning products used are eco-friendly. The lodge endeavours to upcycle as well as recycle all materials as far as possible.
On-site facilities include braai areas, Wi-Fi and secure parking. Nearby activities include fishing and bird watching.
Please Note
Please note, our lodge is off the beaten track and you will travel on a gravel road to get to the lodge. You do not need a 4×4 to get to our lodge but a vehicle with higher clearance is recommended. You can get here in a small car but you just need to take it very slow on the gravel. You can always call us to see what the state of the road condition is like at the time.

Loadshedding Facilities
What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.
