This smart hotel overlooks an amazing coastal ecosystem, in which two rivers share a mouth and dune forest meets the world's southernmost mangroves. Dolphins and whales can be spotted from the wooden deck, while birders and anglers will also be happy. Accommodation is in comfortable rondavels (some with ocean views).
The many activities include lagoon cruises and canoeing, hiking and fishing. Access is via a 34km gravel road – a high-clearance vehicle is advised.
