Get in
As they say, paradise is hard to get to. Visit the website for detailed instructions.

Get around
On foot!

Buy
The nearest shop is about a 3.5 km walk away, and is very poorly equipped.

Eat
You can eat the daily prepared mail at the lodge, usually consisting of cereal or eggs, toast, bacon or veggie sausage and beans for breakfast, Xhosa bread or a traditional Xhosa meal for lunch, and a set Xhosa meal for supper. Alternatively, self-cater, or visit the village 'restaurant'.

Go next
Getting out can be harder than getting in, especially if it's been raining!
