This beach is hands down the best vacation spot!

Mdikana beach
10 Julian Hartman

We have been visiting Bulls Inn for the past 5 years, and let me tell you, Cameron and Marian are absolutely fantastic hosts. Their accommodation is top-notch, situated right on the beach in a secluded bay. They offer fishing charters and provide options for both self-catering and full board. This place truly has it all! Needless to say, we will definitely be returning in the future.

Hole In The Wall
10 Lila Marquez

What an amazing experience! I had always dreamed of visiting this place, and at the age of 57, my daughter and I finally made the journey. We swam across the river and crossed to the other side, just like Moses and his men. When we finally arrived, we were overjoyed and excited to see our family members. However, it's important to wear proper shoes and be careful around the hot rocks near the hole. Walking barefoot can be quite painful. Despite this, I would definitely do it again. The Whole in the Hall hotel serves excellent food, and their staff and manager are very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend making a booking - you won't regret it.

The setting is absolutely perfect! The verandah is lovely, with a beautiful view of the bay. The cottages and rooms are neat and tidy. The bathroom is clean, and there's a warm water shower available! Camping is nice, although it can be a bit challenging to secure tent pegs due to the rocks. Every day, there are crayfish, oysters, mussels, and beadwork available for purchase. There's a night guard on duty every night for added security. It's a great place to stay if you're planning fishing parties!
