About Wavecrest
A secluded coastal retreat on the Wild Coast
Wavecrest Beach Hotel & Spa is a place apart — where the Nxaxo River meets the sea, and the Wild Coast is at its most beautiful.
Our Story
A destination shaped by the Wild Coast
Wavecrest Beach Hotel & Spa is a secluded coastal hotel and holiday destination on South Africa's Wild Coast, at the Nxaxo River Mouth near Kentani in the Eastern Cape. It's a place where long beaches, a calm estuary and dune forest come together — and where guests can truly switch off.
Our philosophy is simple: generous hospitality, a deep respect for the natural environment, and a genuine welcome that makes every guest feel at home. Whether you come for the fishing, the birding, the beach or simply the tranquillity, Wavecrest offers space, scenery and a slower pace of life.
Our Setting
Beach, estuary and forest in one extraordinary place
The Wild Coast is one of South Africa's most unspoilt coastlines, and Wavecrest sits at its heart. The Nxaxo River Mouth brings together a long, open beach, a calm estuary perfect for kayaking and fishing, and dune forest rich in birdlife.
It's a destination defined by its natural beauty — and by the seasonal rhythms of the coast, from the Sardine Run in winter to the arrival of migratory birds and the gentle movement of the tides.
Our Philosophy
Hospitality that respects the environment
We believe in sustainable, considered hospitality — enjoying the Wild Coast while caring for it. Our fishing follows a sustainable catch-and-release policy, and we encourage guests to explore the natural environment responsibly.
