Old Style Wild Coast Charm at Mazeppa Bay Hotel

Mazeppa Bay Hotel, nestled among palms and tropical plants, is set high above broad beaches on the beautiful Wild Coast of South Africa.

The hotel is characterized by its own island, which is accessible by a quaint suspension bridge. This however, is not for the faint hearted.

The road to the hotel is gravel and is only suitable for 4×4 or high clearance vehicles.

The hotel does however, have a landing strip for light planes and a helipad. And for groups they offer a transfer service from East London.

The old style charm has been maintained and three home cooked meals are served every day with a seafood dinner on Saturday and Wednesday nights.

Accommodation at Mazeppa Bay Hotel

The hotel offers a variety of comfortable accommodation. There are double ensuite rooms and family rooms with bathrooms. A baby-sitting service is available for when parents feel they need a break.

The hotel is a great place for honeymooners, with secluded coves and beaches. The Honeymoon suite has a spa bath and shower, and a private lounge.

For those who prefer self-catering there are units that can sleep four or six.

Things to do at Mazeppa Bay Hotel

One of the main attractions at Mazeppa bay is fishing, especially game and shark fishing. Tackle and bait are for sale at the hotel, and there also rods and reels for hire.

There is plenty to keep guests entertained – tennis, a gym, indoor games, bike and 4×4 trails, and walks where the bird life is spectacular.

For the less energetic there are magnificent beaches, a swimming pool, a well-stocked library, and DSTV in the lounge.

Sundowners at the bar, with sea views are a great place to relax after a day in the sun.

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation? Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose.

Expensive is not always better. Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday. They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice. A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday.

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance. Of these, service is the most important.

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion. However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review. We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience? The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table.

Well that’s our theory anyway. It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced. However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience. In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe. It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
