Where to Stay in Wild Coast – Port St. Johns & Coffee Bay

    Resorts, hotels, and accommodation options in Wild Coast – Port St. Johns & Coffee Bay

    Accommodation Overview

    The Wild Coast offers limited but characterful accommodation from the Port St Johns Hotel to backpacker lodges at Coffee Bay and exclusive tented camps. Mbotyi River Lodge provides comfortable mid-range accommodation near the Sardine Run launch points. Most dive operators arrange accommodation packages including meals and transfers. The emphasis is on adventure and authenticity rather than luxury, though a few upmarket tented camps offer comfortable wilderness experiences.
