A remote lodge by a wide, white sand beach on the Wild Coast in the Eastern Cape that's fast becoming a mecca for backpackers. It's a partnership between South African Dave Martin and the local Xhosa community where the emphasis is on getting back to basics: there’s no road to the lodge (the staff collect you from Mthatha, three hours drive away), so there's no light pollution or noise; everything is run off-grid - even the bread is baked on a solar oven - you shower with a bucket, and local fishermen will show you how to catch fish with throw nets, and land crayfish and octopus by hand.
