    It’s such a beautiful location and house. It had all the amenities we needed and it was so warm inside even with the cold weather. We had the Zebra and various buck on our door step every morning. We really loved it.

    So peaceful, with easy beach access and all comforts considered. Not having to consider loadshedding was a bonus!

Umthi Lodge is a guesthouse on a private nature reserve in South Africa, with views of wild game all around. Situated on the unspoiled natural coastline of the Eastern Cape, with private access to a beautiful beach and lagoon. Sleeps 8 people plus a cot bed. Free unlimited high speed WiFi. The pool is heated all year round, and the house has a Tesla battery and solar system to ensure it always has reliable energy supply. Note: We don't accept bookings of large groups for a weekend and parties are not allowed as it is located on a nature reserve.
We live in London and enjoy visiting the beautiful country of South Africa. We took on a project to build Umthi Lodge and it is now available for guests to visit. It provides a unique guest house experience, situated in a nature reserve on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world at Kenton in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. The lodge encompasses our love of architectural design, outdoor adventure and wildlife. Please contact me by email or phone if you need anything during your stay If you have any local questions and need assistance during your stay, please talk to the Pam Golding team or the gatehouse security
