The Destination

South Africa's Most Captivating Coastline

The Hole in the Wall is one of South Africa's most iconic natural landmarks β€” a massive free-standing cliff with a sea arch carved through it by thousands of years of crashing Indian Ocean waves. Known as "esiKhaleni" (Place of Noise) to the Xhosa people, the sound of the ocean rushing through the arch is unlike anything else on Earth.

Nestled between the Mpako River to the north and the Indian Ocean to the east, Hole in the Wall offers pristine beaches, lush rolling green hills, incredible marine life, and some of the most dramatic coastal scenery in southern Africa. It is an unspoilt paradise that remains blissfully undiscovered by mass tourism.

Fishing Paradise

World-Class Fishing on the Wild Coast

Hole in the Wall is legendary among South African rock and surf anglers. The wild, untamed coastline provides the perfect habitat for some of the most prized gamefish in southern Africa β€” and the chance to land a trophy catch from the rocks is why thousands of dedicated fishermen return here year after year.

From dawn patrols on the rocks targeting kob and bronzebream, to afternoons chasing shad and garrick through the surf, the fishing at Hole in the Wall is genuinely world class. Our cottages put you right on the doorstep of some of the most productive fishing grounds on the eastern seaboard.
