The Wild Coast


Offering an accessible taste of the Wild Coast, fabulous ‘Buccs’ is a sort of all-inclusive holiday resort for backpackers and beach bums. Sleeping options cover the spectrum from comfortable eight- to 12-bed dorms and safari tents to self-catering cottages and gorgeous suites for two with sea-facing decks.

Various activities and tours are offered, while on-site entertainments include free use of canoes and boogie boards, complimentary wine and Sunday breakfast, beach volleyball, yoga and spa treatments. Meals (from R75) are served, family-style, in the charming candlelit dining room and outdoor deck.
