Louis at Magwa Falls offers comfortable, rustic and basic off-the-beaten-track accommodation on the Wild Coast (formerly the Transkei), situated in KuGwexintaba village in the Goso Forest - just 20 km outside the small town of Lusikisiki. Accommodation with Louis at Magwa Falls is an experience in itself. This is the perfect place to unwind and connect with your surroundings, whether it is a family holiday, a group adventure or a romantic getaway! We offer accommodation in two of our beautiful rondavels. The Crowned Eagle House and The Family Rondavel (with more to come soon!) The Crowned Eagle House is strategically positioned on the top of a plateau ridge right next to a small waterfall and the start of the indigenous Goso State Forest, overlooking expansive hills. It is an idyllic spot where nature lovers and adventure seekers can hear birdsong and the sounds of nature all throughout the day. The house has its own private kitchen and en-suite bathroom facility. The Family Rondavel has a double bed and 2 bunkbeds that has shared use of a communal kitchen area, communal ablution facilities with hot showers and a composting toilet with magnificent forest views. There is a braai area nearby with comfortable seating accompanied by breathtaking panoramic scenery. Camping is also available at various spots in the garden for the people who love their privacy and want to be as close to nature as possible. Guests can enjoy tours and hikes with your host, Louis (inquire about package costs). Louis can take you on a fantastic adventure to see 1, 2, 3, or more waterfalls. Tours range from easy to medium hikes and will take you across beaches, to waterfalls, through crystal mountain pools and lush forests. Meditation retreats and gardening workshops can also be booked.
Looking forward to sharing our space with you! After almost 20 years on the land, we have gained valuable knowledge and information about the local community and the special network that joins us all together. Gardening, building and leatherwork are three of the many projects that keep us inspired and moving forward :) We are excited to share our love and passion for nature, food and connection with you on your special trip! See you soon
Gwexintaba is a traditional mPondo village and home of the 144m Magwa Falls! Just 3km away from the house . Waterfall Bluff is also just 50km away! This is a piece of raw African scenery, bursting with local culture and incredible nature.
