Situated on the breathtaking Wild Coast of the Eastern Cape, Bulungula Lodge is nestled in one of the most beautiful locations along South Africa's Coast. An eco-friendly, Fair Trade certified, affordable, multi-night destination for sustainability minded South African and overseas visitors alike; the Lodge is a superb accommodation for Wild Coast budget travelers, backpackers and cultural wanderers of this Earth.
The Bulungula Lodge sustains local culture and the planet, and is 100% owned and managed by the vibrant, traditional Nqileni village, a Xhosa community in between Bulungula and Xhora river mouth. The Xhosa community is an integral part of daily life in and around the Lodge. With no fences, no crime, and no hassles, the village is full of friendly smiles and lots of animals. You are invited to be part of this community throughout your stay – becoming part of the Bulungula Lodge and village community is the whole point of coming here!
The Lodge is a carbon neutral accommodation on the Wild Coast. It’s powered by the sun and includes the legendary ’rocket’ hot-water showers, our water comes from our own borehole and the virtually odourless compost toilets are the most colourful in Africa. 10 theme-painted traditionally built Xhosa rondavel huts have beautiful sea and forest views. Or stay in cabins under the trees. Whichever roof you choose, you’ll sleep well, to the sound of the Indian Ocean’s surf.
In Room Facilities:*We offer accommodation in our traditional Xhosa rondavels, as private rooms or backpacker dormitories, in our secluded forest cabins, or on our campground. No matter which one you choose, they all have one thing in common: you will fall asleep and wake up to the beautiful sound of the waves. Please note that we can’t accept campervans and camper trailers. Please note that WiFi is only available in the common areas. All of the units have access to shared ablution.
Area Information:*Paradise is by definition hard to get to, but we reckon it’s a fun mission and it is oh so worth it. We are located on the Wild Coast of the Eastern Cape, formerly known as the Transkei Region. Destinations like Coffee Bay and Lubanzi are only a hike along the beach away.
Property Facilities:*Would you like to take a break from the world? And to have the opportunity to focus solely on one topic that is close to your heart? Would you like to do that in one of the most beautiful places on earth? Then run your retreat in Bulungula for an extraordinary experience!
Attractions:*Something different happens every day. Many of these businesses are still in their infancy and are not always as professional as you would find in the big cities, but everyone puts their heart and soul into their new venture and as a result, there is a unique, fresh edge to these activities. All these businesses are 100% owned and run by members of the local community so your money goes where it’s most needed.
