Discover the magic of the Wild Coast. Discover indigenous forests

and the rugged coastline. Discover breathtaking scenery, crystal blue

waters and the pristine white sands of idyllic beaches. Discover a

sanctuary with a unique history.

We’ve been nestled in the heart of the Wild Coast for many years

now, so we can tell you plenty about all the treasures you and your

family will discover here. There are the expected things, of course

– charming bungalows that feel like home, our sumptuous variety

of freshly prepared home-cooked food, and more outdoor activities

than you’ll find time for.

But then there are the more personal things: sharing coffee and

rusks as you watch the morning mist brushing the water’s surface.

Falling asleep with an old paperback on your chest and salt in your

hair. Seeing a Fish Eagle swoop low over the estuary, or hearing

the cattle call from a distant hillside. Taking a shower open to the

atmosphere of the Wild Coast.

Most importantly, there are those timeless moments with family

that allow you to reconnect, refresh and later, remember. Just

talking about these things might make you want to visit. To

experience them yourself will make you want to stay.

Our homely cottages will make you kick your shoes off,

undo your top button and put your watch aside.

Each of our thatched bungalows is tucked away amongst

indigenous flora, on a green hillside providing more view than

most eyes can take in. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself

perched on your doorstep for hours, simply watching the waves

beyond, while birds forage and sing in the bushes around you.

And for those newly weds, let our tranquil, private bungalows and

the breathtaking scenery help you create memories of a truly idyllic

honeymoon you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

Of course, you may want to be out much of every day. You could

spend the whole time dozing by our riverside pool, or hanging out

at Basil’s Bar, where darts, snooker and tall stories will make you

feel like a regular in no time. In our lofted hillside spa we’re lucky

enough to have dedicated, professional therapists, if you want

your city stress to be massaged away – to the soundtrack of

nothing but breakers and bird calls. Or you might find relaxation in

other ways; in the gym, on the courts or on a long amble down

our pristine beach; as rich in shore life as most coastlines

used to be. For parents in need of a break, our

dedicated caregivers are always on hand, so

leave the little ones with us and feel free to

relive your early days of romance.

All meals are fully inclusive. And what’s more, we’re not shy with

our portions - the bigger the better.

Kick off the day with an unhurried River Breakfast as you loosely

plan out another day filled with the magical sights and sounds of

the Wild Coast. Later on, sample our lunch and dinner menus,

which offer versatile meat dishes, fish so fresh it melts in your

mouth and crackingly good salads and veggies.

Oh, and feel free to make requests. Like everything else, our menu

is always flexible and our chefs are more than happy to try and

meet your individual needs.

BRING A HEALTHY APPETITE

If you’re celebrating something special (what is it about the Wild Coast

that makes so many people decide to “pop the question”?), you

can always reserve the riverside gazebo for a private get-together.

It’s perched on stilts above the clear, calm waters of our river.

Or try something more “uptown”, by requesting a private evening

in the Green Door Wine Cellar, where only you, your party and a

personal waiter will disturb the peaceful atmosphere as you tell tall

tales over a selection of the finest wines from our platinum award-

winning wine list.

At Umngazi, relaxed dining experiences will form the heart of your

very special coastal getaway. If you find yourself settling into your

chair and losing all track of the time, then we’ll know our chefs

are doing their job. It’s second nature for our visitors to sit

around the tables long after another unforgettable day to

recount stories of fun, adventure and exhilaration.

And one thing you won’t be short of after a few days at

Umngazi River Bungalows is stories. Stories you’ll

probably still be telling when your grandkids one day

pay us a visit, and become part of the family too.

FLY. Board our comfortable 14-seater aircraft at Durban’s

Virginia Airport. At Port St Johns’ airstrip you’ll be greeted

by our friendly hosts and a cool refresher. S.A. Airlink also offers daily

flights from Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport, direct to

Mthatha. Transfer arrangements to Umngazi can be made for you.

OR DRIVE. From the Cape, take the N2 North to Mthatha. Once there,

take the Port St Johns turn-off; it’s hard to miss. Drive for 90km

through lush valleys and gentle hills until you see the Umngazi sign.

From KwaZulu-Natal, head south past Port Edward to Bizana and

then to Port St Johns. From Gauteng or the Free State, continue past

Kokstad and turn left 15km later onto the R61 towards Port St Johns.
