Imagine waking up beside the Mnenga river mouth, with sunrise painting the picturesque Coffee Bay in pinks and blues and early-morning surfers tearing up the right hand point break…

Welcome to Paradise!

The incredibly beautiful and unspoiled Transkei Coast is undoubtedly one of South Africa’s most popular destinations, both among local and international visitors. But where to find a place that will add to your fond memories of your holiday here, rather than detract from it? Look no further than Sugarloaf Backpackers… this impeccably neat little establishment has newly been renovated, and our staff members are as friendly and hospitable as ever!

The holiday of a lifetime beckons… what are you waiting for?!

 

Start your day with a scrumptious traditional breakfast prepared by our very talented kitchen staff before going off to spend some time exploring or relaxing on the beautiful beaches, visiting local tourist sites or getting to know the small communities. It won’t be long before you will be lured back to Sugarloaf by the mouth-watering aromas of Zuzo’s freshly-baked sugarloaf bread and ground coffee wafting from our establishment! And as the sun set, why not quench your thirst in the Tokoloshe Bar or simply laze around with your friends in our comfortable lounges and luscious gardens? When you are ready for dinner, you will be treated to a generous meal of tasty local cuisine, before ending your day around a fire pit, sharing stories or simply admiring the starry African skies.
