Ponta Gamboozini Lodge, Ponta do Ouro

Ponta Gamboozini Lodge sits a short walk from Ponta do Ouro's main beach, just behind the main sand dune, and runs its own diving club alongside its accommodation. It is one of the highest-rated specialty lodgings in Ponta do Ouro on TripAdvisor.

The lodge offers 10 guestrooms across several types -- a honeymoon room with bath and shower, en-suite bungalows with a queen bed and patio, two 4-person dorms and one 10-person dorm, and a smaller single room for travellers wanting more privacy than the dorms -- plus camping spots around the grounds, some shaded and some on open lawn.

Guest reviews consistently describe an excellent, welcoming atmosphere, and the lodge's diving club is a core part of what draws repeat visitors to this stretch of coast near the South African border.
