At the very end of Agate Terrace, surrounded by virgin forests, unspoiled mountains and empty beaches lies Gecko's Place.

A range of accommodation options are available:

• A lovingly renovated, fully equipped 1 bedroom cottage suitable for a couple, perhaps with one child. Large bathroom and well fitted quaint kitchen for your self catering. For those windy or rainy days there is an enclosed veranda where you can relax.

• For the larger family, we have a comfortable 3 bedroomed unit, each with twin beds. A sleeper couch in the lounge means we can cater for groups of up to 8. There is a full bathroom with a shower and and a separate toilet. Walk from the open plan kitchen lounge on to a private deck overlooking the tropical garden. There is a TV in the unit with access to local channels. Please bring your own DSTV decoders.

There are also two caravans and camp sites, providing travellers with a number of affordable options. The camp sites and caravans have electricity and there is a comfortable ablution block.

Gecko's Place offers you a safe base from where you can explore Pondoland and the Wild Coast. Visit nearby Poenskop, a wonderful beach and well known angling spot. Mboktyi and the Grosvenor shipwreck site are also among the local attractions. Nearer home, you can walk the 5km beach on our doorstep or simply enjoy a sundowner overlooking the garden.

It is a wonderful, peaceful spot where one can simply relax and let the rest of the World continue on its way.
