Located in the tiny village of Coffee Bay deep in the heart of the Eastern Cape’s Xhosa country, The Coffee Shack is where the rolling emerald hills of the former Transkei meet a dramatic end on a practically untouched stretch of the Indian Ocean. ⁠ ⁠ Outside of folk tales, coffee doesn’t really grow here, but that's not what draws people in. Coffee Bay is that rare bohemian idyll where you can step into what feels like an eternal place. Whether you’re looking for true Xhosa hospitality, a surfer’s paradise, or a few days off the grid, the Coffee Shack is worth the detour.
