If you are looking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life – restore your soul at Gxulumanzi.

Situated on the west coast of East London, South Africa, just inland from the beautiful and ever-changing Gxulu mouth, Gxulumanzi invites you to heed the call of nature. Whether it’s the crashing of waves, cackling of the wood hoopoes, or the chatter of vervet monkeys that calls – it’s the perfect destination for birders, nature lovers and those looking to reconnect with nature.

Nature

Step outside and you're surrounded by nature. Located between coastal and indigenous forests and farmlands, there is so much to explore.  Trees, birdsong and monkey chatter hide our proximity to others. Sitting around the fire at night, provides added connection with our roots and an opportunity to stargaze.

Sustainability

We have a passion for our planet, and it shows in everything we do. We aim to live in harmony with nature as far as possible – being mindful of the cycles of nature, minimising our waste, and harvesting our own rainwater. Learn more about adopting a more sustainable lifestyle in our Volunteer program.
