The Purple Haze will remain in our memories for a long time. The friendliest hosts (plus Mojo), don't over-promise but deliver the cleanest, beautiful and location appropriate rooms with great sea views and get 100% from us. Thanks Lauf and team.

From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in warmth and hospitality by our incredible hosts, Louf and Inch ! Their passion for providing a truly remarkable experience was evident in every detail, from the stunning rooms adorned with comfort and charm to the panoramic 360-degree views that greeted us at every turn.

Waking up to the gentle sounds of the waves caressing the shore was a symphony for the soul, reminding us of the beauty and serenity that nature generously offers. With Purple Haze Eco Lodge being just a short walk away from the pristine Cintsa beach, we found ourselves meandering through the quaint streets of this charming beach town, each step bringing us closer to paradise.

The accommodation is very well appointed and quiet. It has great sea views, the owner is very friendly and helpful and the price is a bargain. Great beach in Chintsa, meals available within a short distance and the area has no security problem

The place is breathtaking and unique. The rooms are spacious with a king size bed that you may sleep like starfish. The view is impeccable and top that off the host is absolutely one of the best host I have ever encountered. Loaf will go out of his way to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We went as a group of couples and had the most amount of fun. A must do in Cintsa

We came from Washington DC to visit family in South Africa and were delighted to find this secret gem. The view from the room balcony is majestic - a broad vista up and down the coast accompanied by the sound of the ocean waves. The birding is also brilliant. The room is comfortable with welcoming touches and the hosts are super friendly and hospitable helping us navigate the charming little town of Cintsa. A perfect spot to relax and rejuvenate

We had to cut our long journey in two between Mossel Bay and Ramsgate, so arrived at " The Haze" to a warm and friendly welcome by owner Loaf and his adorable dog, Mojo. it was like seeing old friends again ! Delighful rooms, all with stunning 180° sea views, spotlessly clean premises, and relaxing ambience. Chintza is one of South Africa's hidden gems, and this lodge is a 'diamond'. We booked in again for our return trip a couple of days later.

Purple Haze is an experience not to be missed. The love and vision Louf and Inge have put into the construction of the Lodge, decorating the rooms, the attention to detail in making every guest feel special combined, with their gracious hosting makes this one of my all-time favourite guesthouses. The spectacular views from the rooms and rooftop will linger on long after I have left Cintsa.

This was our second trip to Purple Haze, I organised everything from outside of the country with ease. We arrived late on a Sunday evening, but Loaf still managed to organise us drinks to enjoy on their beautiful sun deck. I would recommend Purple Haze to any adventurous soul, the rooms are pristinely clean and the views are to die for.

Perfectly situated, 12 minute walk from the beach (just be prepared for a bit of an uphill on your way back - don’t worry, it builds stamina). Probably the best beach view I’ve ever encountered, with a very private balcony to allow you to lounge in the sun, unexposed so to speak. Incredibly hospitable hosts who are always a text message away. Beautiful sunsets and sunrises - this is the ideal spot for anyone looking to reconnect with themselves
