PORT ALFRED · EASTERN CAPE

Rooted in the ocean and built on family. We're a fourth-generation surf family, carrying forward a dream that began with our grandad and was built from the ground up by our dad.
Today, we run the surf school and lodge in their memory, driven by a lifelong love for surfing, the sea, and sharing it with others.
This isn't just a business — it's our legacy.

Dave Macgregor built this lodge himself — every beam, every railing, every room carries his character. It's not a hotel. It's a home wrapped in indigenous forest.
Minutes from the beach. Wake up to birdsong. Spot Paradise Flycatchers in the canopy. Drink coffee on the balcony watching the trees breathe in the morning light.
Private rooms and dorm beds — perfect for solo travellers, couples, and groups chasing surf and solitude in equal measure.

A wonderful experience for our three boys who loved every minute of their lesson! Friendly and fun — our boys came out of the water with confidence and having discovered a new passion! Your passionate and friendly service will help many kids getting hooked on surfing! See you soon for another lesson!
Absolute escape into nature and geared for a slower pace, unique setup very surf inspired, rustic and authentic. Loved having nature on the doorstep and having a great balcony area to have our morning coffee and sundowner drinks. Would definitely recommend this place.
