Umthombe Lodge is situated on the well-known famous tranquil piece of coastal land that forms part of the Transkei Wild CoastThe lodge is surrounded by well-developed lush vegetation and is a typical wild coast family cottage. We have undergone many renovations and alterations over the last 20 years and today Umthombe is a guest holiday lodge for those who appreciate the traditional Transkei hospitably and tranquil life style.
Umthombe Lodge is not a five star hotel on the beach front BUT BOASTFULLY the most beautiful view of the open ocean with its typical traditional wild coast atmosphere for those whom appreciate this freedom of space. NOT THE PLACE FOR CITY SLICKERS AND GOERS WITH HEELS ON THERE SHOES. |
