Peaceful, beautiful and we were warmly welcomed. Camped at Louis' place for two nights. The most amazing view! We walked to the Magwa Falls, about two kilometres away and it was gorgeous!

Excellent place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. We really enjoyed our time at Louis' place. Louis was very helpful and friendly. The Crowned Eagle house has an incredible view and a very unique layout. The Magwa waterfall is within walking distance and we never felt unsafe visiting it. The hike to Waterfall Bluff with Louis was also worth it and we really enjoyed it. Louis goes out of his way to help his guests.

Uitstekende plek om te ontspan en weg te kom van die gejaagde lewe in die stad. Ons het ons tyd by Louis regtig geniet. Louis was baie behulpsaam en vriendelik. Die Crowned Eagle-huis het 'n ongelooflike uitsig en baie unieke opset. Die Magwa waterval is binne stapafstand en ons het nooit onveilig gevoel om dit te besoek nie. Die uitsappie na Waterfall Bluff saam met Louis was ook die moeite werd en ons het dit baie geniet. Louis doen baie moeite met sy gaste.

Turn off and take a deep breath again. If you’re looking for a luxury hotel with room service and crisp white linens, this isn’t the place for you — but if you’re craving a true, soul-enriching Wild Coast experience, The Crowned Eagle House is pure magic. The house sits near the edge of a cliff, and the view alone is worth the trip — breathtakingly beautiful! The setting feels pristine and wild, but the house itself has everything you need: a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and warm, homely touches that make you feel right at home. Our children spent hours with the friendly farm dogs who quickly became part of our adventure. They ran around freely, played outside, and just were kids in nature — the kind of experience that money can’t buy. Louis, our host, was fantastic — very friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. He’s like a walking encyclopedia of the region’s culture. His passion for the country is evident, and his recommendations led us to some of the most memorable moments of our trip. If you love nature, simplicity, and true South African hospitality, this is a hidden gem. We left with gratitude and a deep sense of peace. Highly recommended for nature lovers, families, and anyone looking to switch off and take a deep breath.

Skakel af en haal weer diep asem. As jy op soek is na ’n luukse hotel met kamerdiens en spierwit linne, is hierdie plek nie vir jou nie — maar as jy smag na ’n egte, sielsverrykende Wildkus-ervaring, is The Crowned Eagle House pure betowering. Die huis lê naby die rand van ’n krans, en die uitsig alleen is die reis werd — asemrowend mooi! Die omgewing voel ongerep en wild, maar die huis self het alles wat jy nodig het: ’n goed toegeruste kombuis, gemaklike beddens en warm, huislike aanrakinge wat jou dadelik tuis laat voel. Ons kinders was ure lank besig met die vriendelike plaasbrakke wat vinnig deel van ons avontuur geword het. Hulle het vrylik rondgehardloop, buite gespeel en net kind gewees in die natuur — die soort ervaring wat jy nie met geld kan koop nie. Louis, ons gasheer, was fantasties — baie vriendelik, vol kennis en altyd bereid om te help. Hy is soos ’n wandelende ensiklopedie oor die streek se kultuur. Sy passie vir die land kom duidelik deur, en sy aanbevelings het ons na van die mees onvergeetlike oomblikke van ons reis gelei. As jy lief is vir die natuur, eenvoud en egte Suid-Afrikaanse gasvryheid, is hierdie ’n versteekte juweel. Ons het vertrek met dankbaarheid en ’n diep gevoel van vrede. Sterk aanbeveel vir natuurliefhebbers, gesinne en enigiemand wat wil afskakel en weer diep asem wil haal.

Endure the road to appreciate the nature/falls. The road to the place is a nightmare, but once you arrive, you get that incredible feeling that it is worth the stress of enduring the road condition. Beautiful scenery and the Magwa Falls are delightful and are by far one of the most beautiful waterfalls I have ever seen in my life.

Verduur die pad om die natuur/valle te waardeer. Die pad na die plek is 'n nagmerrie, maar sodra jy aankom, dan kry jy daai ongelooflike gevoel dit is die stres werd om die padtoestand te verduur. Pragtige natuurskoon en die Magwa Falls is verruklik en is by verre een van die mooiste watervalle wat ek al in my lewe gesien het.

Top shelf cultural and spiritual experience. The getaway was an experience.

Kulturele en spirituele ervaring van die boonste rakke. Die wegbreek was 'n belewenis.
