GweGwe Beach Lodge is built for those who want to get off the grid—without giving up comfort. Set in one of the most untouched stretches of South Africa’s Wild Coast, this luxury lodge offers direct access to coastal wilderness, with the kind of amenities you’d expect from a high-end escape.
Every suite comes with everything you need to reset: private plunge pools, ocean views, and space to breathe. Days start with sunrise hikes or surf sessions, and end with cold dips, deep-tissue massages, or quiet time by the fire.
There’s a full wellness setup, a riverside chill area, and plenty of room to roam—from beach runs to trail adventures. The lodge is fully solar-powered, plastic-free, and rooted in sustainability—so every experience feels as good as it is for the planet.
This is not a resort. It’s a basecamp for bold living—with luxury built in.
Mkambati Nature Reserve is one of South Africa’s last truly wild places. Stretching over 7,500 hectares along the rugged Wild Coast, it’s where dense coastal forests meet vast grasslands, waterfalls drop straight into the sea, and wildlife moves freely.
You won’t find fences here—just open landscapes and raw beauty. The reserve is home to a rare mix of biodiversity: antelope roaming the plains, dolphins playing in the surf, and birdlife in every direction. It’s a playground for those who crave movement, freedom, and connection to nature.
From trail runs and guided hikes to river kayaking and cliffside swims, every route leads to something worth seeing. And with no crowds, no noise, and no rush, the reserve sets the perfect pace for active recovery and real rest.
Environmental concepts in architecture refer to design and implementation strategies that focus on preserving natural resources, energy conservation, waste management, and creating healthy indoor environments.
Green building design aims to minimize environmental impacts by incorporating strategies such as energy efficiency, water conservation, natural lighting, and natural ventilation.
Energy efficiency focuses on reducing energy consumption through design and systems. Well-insulated buildings, energy-efficient lighting, and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems contribute to energy savings.
Natural lighting aims to maximize the use of daylight in interior spaces. Factors such as proper orientation, window size and placement are considered in building design. This reduces the need for artificial lighting and saves energy.
Sustainable materials are selected to preserve natural resources, reduce environmental impacts, and have recyclability. Examples include recycled materials, natural wood, bamboo, and low VOC (volatile organic compound) paints.
