We just spent 5 nights at this wonderful spot on the Wild Coast. We stayed in a sea facing room which was spacious. We had perfect weather with spectactular sun rises.The hotel has a very relaxed atmosphere, the wholesome meals were very tasty. We have to go to gym now to lose the weight we put on! The beach is...

I really loved our stay here, the (recently renovated?) bungalow was nicely done, good size and spotlessly clean and was in the front row facing the estuary and beach - stunning views out front window and everytime you stepped out the door. The location is lovely - stunning views, and you can swim or get a boatman to take you... More

We stayed at Wavecrest Hotel for a week in December 2012. Although the view is amazing - the location makes for fanatsic walks on the beach we were very dissapointed with the rooms. The rooms are clean but very aged. The Curtains are very poor quality and the sizes are all wrong. Window blinds are old , broken and rusted.The... More

The river mouth and the view from the hotel is amazing. I was staying in a garden view ronodval. As the weather was very bad and the room has no heating, it was very cold in the room. But the lounge was cozy and the sea food dinner on saturday is nice. The people are really nice. The sit in... More

We stayed at Wavecrest on the first night of our West Coast Meander trek. The location is stunning, the public rooms are very pleasant - it rained all afternoon, and we had quite a relaxing time in the lounge. However our room was awful. The curtains were very discoloured, and looked about 4 inches too short; there was a kind... More

We really enjoyed our time here. The Inn is situated on a lagoon with a fantastic view of an infinite beach. The rooms are fairly rustic & dont take advantage of their awesome location but are comfortable & the bathrooms are recently renovated. The Lounge is straight out of a Bakos Bros showroom & there is a wonderful full size... More

We loved Wavecrest because of its simplicity and uncommercial atmosphere, basic and perfect. In this setting overlooking the sea and the estuary basic was good so as not to divert you from the natural beauty outside. I think we were given the smallest room they have, because we looked at others and they were all much bigger. So ask for... More

I was recently at the Wavecrest with a group that was doing some work in Kentani. The rooms were quite cool as I had my own little building. Beds were very comfortable, water was hot, and the views from the front porch were fantastic. The only complaint was it was so cold while we were there and no heat! The... More

Good food, very comfortable rooms, friendly staff and great walks ensured that we enjoyed our 9 night stay at Wavecrest Beach hotel. We also enjoyed the fishing, birdlife and boating on the tidal estuary. If you want to get away from the rat race and spend time on one of the last unspoilt coastlines in the world and still enjoy...

When hiking the Wild Coast meander trail you will stay one night there. It is my favourite place at the Wild Coast. the setting is stunning! When sitting on the terrase you can see the rolling green hills of Xhosa land, the mouth aof the river Nxaxo and the completely lonely beach with its dunes. I travelled a lot and... More
