Welcome To Vista Bonita Eco Lodge 

 

Vista Bonita offers beautiful beachfront cottages situated in Guinjata in Mozambique's Inhambane Province. 

Spectacular views and peaceful bliss are our trademarks... 

So why wait? Take time off from the busy life and come and enjoy all the fun and relaxation that this piece of paradise has to offer!

 

Our Accommodation

We have four beautiful casas with spectacular views of the Indian Ocean.

 

Casa Barracuda - 8 Sleeper

Private, out of the wind, closest to the beach but the most limited (although still spectacular!) view.

Casa Guicoli (Sea-Turtle) - 8 Sleeper

The house with the most beautiful view, right at the top. This unit is the easiest to access for those with soft-roaders or 4x2's.

Casa Lula (Squid) - 4 Sleeper

Closer to the sea than Baleia, private and an awesome view. What more do you want?

It is important to note that we are in the process of converting to solar power - our generator has been disabled and therefore no longer kicks in when the EDM Grid goes down (as it can do regularly, just like Eskom!) - you are therefore advised to bring sufficient torches/batteries for when it does so at night. We provide a solar, movement sensitive light on each balcony, so you will never be completely in the dark. Also, be sure to charge your devices when the power is flowing!! All Casas are equipped with the following:

  • Fridge (120/180 litre)
  • Freezer (200 litre) - 8 sleepers only
  • Hot & cold water (wood fired Donkey)
  • 2 x bathrooms in 4 bedroom casas (with shower, basin, toilet)
  • 1 x bathroom in 2 bedroom casas (with shower, basin, toilet)
  • Bedding
  • Handcrafted tables and chairs
  • Solar powered balcony light
  • full function Gas cooker - 4 burner and oven
  • Microwave
  • Kitchen utensils, pots and pans
  • all cutlery, crockery, glassware and kitchenware needed to fully self-cater. Even a potjie.
  • Kettle (Gas)
  • Mosquito netting
  • Private braai facilities
  • Own towels required!

Getting Here

A 4x4 vehicle is a definite advantage, though you can get a 2WD car to the lodge, the roads around us are all made of beach sand, so your car will be parked for the duration of your stay, and there will be at significant quantity of walking involved!

Activities

The Guinjata/Paindane/Jangamo area where Vista Bonita is situated, is filled to the brim with fun activities and sights to see. The following are just few of the activities available within a 5km radius of the cottages:

  • Hiking
  • Fishing (Both from the shore or using one of the many charter services available), we will soon also have fishing canoes available.
  • Scuba Diving
  • Snorkeling
  • Whale watching from shore or boat.
  • Just enjoying our private beach, with the softest white sand
  • Birding
  • Spearfishing (With the right permits!)
  • Cultural Tours
  • Surfing
  • Kayaking (we have our own boats)
  • Ocean Safaris
  • Sightseeing
  • Partying at the beach bars at some of the neighbouring resorts :)
  • And then there's always just good ol' reading a book while enjoying the spectacular views!!
