Guests at Wild coast tented lodge

Pure Class. The main building is extremely original & unique, a very cool domed, woven design. The family cocoon was very classy, so comfortable and with gloriously soft bedding and feather pillows. We also loved our little private plunge pool. The service was exceptional and the beach was beautiful.
