Welcome to Purple Haze Eco Lodge in Chintsa, Eastern Cape!

This eco lodge is unlike any other you’ve seen in Chintsa. It’s not your typical Wild Coast hippie haven with tie-dye decor and bongo drums. Instead, it offers a modern and serene space.

Imagine being surrounded by stunning wild land, including the protected Amathole coastal forest and a golf estate. During the day, you’ll experience complete silence, broken only by the beautiful sound of birds singing and the crashing waves. And at night, the darkness is interrupted only by the moon and stars. From our hillside location, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean and spectacular sunsets and sunrises. In the early morning, you’ll wake up to the invigorating scent of wet earth and fresh, crisp air.

Hey there! I want to let you in on a little secret. You don’t need to go far to connect with nature. Sometimes, all you have to do is look up!

I recently discovered this amazing lodge that really knows how to be eco-friendly. They’ve got it all figured out. Let me tell you about it.

First off, this lodge is totally “green” – that means they’re all about being environmentally friendly. They’ve got a system that reuses water, so nothing’s wasted. And instead of using air conditioning, they take advantage of the natural breeze to keep things cool. How cool is that?

They also care about saving energy. All their appliances are low-energy, which means they use less power. Plus, they’ve used special paint on the walls and furniture that’s eco-friendly. It’s like they’ve thought of everything!

Oh, and get this. The lodge is made from recyclable materials like steel and timber. Even the roof deck is special. It’s covered in a green lawn, but get this – it’s made from recycled plastic! Who knew plastic could be so eco-friendly?

So, if you’re looking for a place to stay that’s not just comfortable but also kind to the planet, this lodge is definitely worth checking out. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

Hey there! Welcome to Purple Haze, where creativity thrives and inspiration is just a step away. As you step onto the Green Deck, you’ll be greeted by a breathtaking view that will make your artistic heart soar. Pack your paints and easel because you’re in for a treat!

When you stay at Purple Haze, you’ll have the pleasure of living on the property alongside the lovely owners, Inge Dryer Le Roux and Louf Coetser. These two extraordinary individuals share their home with their beloved labradors, Kili and Mojo. They reside on the second floor, while you’ll find the cozy guest rooms on the ground floor.

The design and decor of the rooms at Purple Haze are sensational. They embody a clean and modern aesthetic, creating a space that feels open, airy, and full of possibilities. You’ll be welcomed by a magnificent floor-to-ceiling window that invites the natural light to dance its way into the room. With a balcony attached to each room, you can soak in the stunning views and find endless inspiration right outside your doorstep.

While each guest room also features a kitchenette, don’t expect to find a stove or oven. But fear not, my friend! The kitchenette is equipped with everything you need to prepare basic meals—a microwave, fridge, toaster, and kettle. You’ll even find a generous selection of tea, coffee, and milk provided, so you can enjoy a warm cuppa while you plan your artistic masterpieces.

Now, here’s a little secret: the absence of a stove or oven is actually a hidden gem. It encourages you to venture out and discover the incredible restaurants in the neighborhood. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed! Whether you’re craving a savory feast or a delectable dessert, the local dining scene will captivate your taste buds and leave you with unforgettable culinary experiences.

So, what are you waiting for? Embrace the artistic flow, surround yourself with beauty, and indulge in the vibrant atmosphere of Purple Haze. Your creativity will flourish, and your soul will be nourished. Book your stay now and let the journey begin!

Up on the rooftop, you’ll find the Green Deck, the lodge’s one communal space. It’s the perfect spot to take in the breathtaking views and unwind. Whether you’re updating your Instagram, practicing yoga, or enjoying your morning coffee like I did, this is the place to be.

Louf, a local who knows this area like the back of his hand, shared with me how he feels when he sees guests savoring a glass of wine and gazing at the sunset. It fills him with gratitude that he can share this incredible village with the world.

With their warm and welcoming personalities, Louf and Inge have truly created a sanctuary for rejuvenation. Their positive energy is felt throughout the entire lodge. Purple Haze is a perfect escape for couples or individuals who want to leave behind the hustle and bustle of the city and experience the tranquility of this place.
