Buccaneers Beach Lodge, Chintsa, South Africa

Amazing location! This was our first stop on the Wild Coast. It feels like being in the middle of the jungle, with a stunning view of the river mouth beach. We stayed in the little hut and loved it. the staff was lovely, it felt so safe, the kitchen is well equipped and the bar also inviting. People really miss out on not going here:)!!!

This little paradise is so special, for so many reasons. I love the sensitivity to nature in the way the place has been developed, with as much of the buildings as possible obscured by thick indigenous bush and trees. The walk to the beach, along the river is amazing. Something out of a childhood dream. Everything is done with such loving care and audacious creativity. But most of all, it is the generosity and kindness of the family run business. Really, I felt like offering them my home to stay in when they were in Cape Town. My family and I will always return to this special place as many times as we can.

We had a lovely 2 night stay in one of the garden view rooms. It’s basic with no frills at all, but it’s clean spacious and comfortable. We really enjoyed the bar/restaurants welcoming vibe with great staff. We arrived late so they kept a dinner for us and it was yummy! Breakfast is freshly cooked to order and good coffee. Well established grounds with plenty of trees, bush, flowers and bird life. Would recommend.

Camped here for two nights. The restaurant and bar area look new and have a great atmosphere. Was great to join in on dinner and have some drinks overlooking the ocean. Friendly staff too. I’d recommend a high clearance vehicle to get there because of the road.

I was only here one night while driving the garden route, and what a mistake. I should have shifted things around to stay longer! This property was stunning with INCREDIBLE views. Also, the staff were so lovely. I went in off season, and booked for a dorm for 1 night. Upon arrival the woman working the front desk said, "ehh, it's just 4 males in the dorm right now. I'm just going to upgrade you for the night to your own room."||My room was STUNNING with glass sliding doors out onto a porch that overlooked the water. I got to watch the sunset from the porch and the sunrise in bed before getting on the road again. ||They could do a little bit of a better job keeping the common areas a bit cleaner. Lots of dead bugs etc. Other than that, great spot.||I will certainly be coming back here when I have more time to spend!

Love love love! This place! There are only a few locations in Knysna n world that have magic and this is one of them,! Worth the mission and super safe!

Delightful experience. Highly enjoyed the view, beach walking and accomodations. Don't let the last 2 kms of dirt road put you off. Highly recommend
