Where you will stay
Five nights, and a different bed above the sea each one. None of them are hotels. All of them are made up and waiting when you walk in, because your bags got there before you did.
Magwa Falls — eco-lodge
Where the trip starts, at the top of the falls, with the tea estate behind you and the whole walk ahead.
Manteku — cottage
At the river mouth you crossed by boat earlier the same day.
Mbotyi — our cottage
The one our family has stayed in for decades, in the village the team comes from. If you take the rest day, this is where you take it.
Luputhana — seaside cottage
Rustic, and close enough to the water that you fall asleep to the sound of the waves crashing into the sandstone cliffs this part of Pondoland is famous for.
Grosvenor — Lambazi Lodge
The last night, above the bay where the Grosvenor went down in 1782.
Some of these have electricity and signal. Some do not. That is the coast, not an oversight.
