Bamba Lodge, Self Catering Port St Johns in Port Saint John's

Gavin and Barbara thank you for having us for 3 weeks. You helped us tremendously so we are grateful for that. Your staff are all wonderful and you have a great team. Getting to know your team, as we love people, we were incredibly impressed at your Christian staff member Sbu. He is INCREDIBLE!! Always smiling and goes out of his way to help in any way he can. A God given gift to you guys and all that come into contact with him. Shows what the power of God Almighty can do in a persons life through the holy spirit. Please send on our compliments to him. It was also great to get to know you both over the time we had. Gavin lekker fishing with you even although you could not match my 17.94kg Kob but got close at 13kg. Hahaha! Keep practicing!! Barbara thanks for your special care for us both. You have a wonderful way with people. You both have that gift actually. All in all a wonderful blessed time. You look after yourselves and others until our paths cross again. Love us.

Wonderful hosts, Barbara and Gavin, neat accommodation, very secure premises with its own gate password, well maintained garden, what more can one ask for? Well done to Barbara and Gavin and their man Sbu. Always smiling and ever willing to please their guests. I am sure we must have been a handful, considering there were fourteen of us and all males! The cherry on the top was coming home with three large Kob (Salmon), two just under 10 kg and one over 20kg and that to with the water being extremely cold. Perhaps, it had something to do with our wonderful hosts? I had not been fishing for almost four years due to circumstances whereas in the past, it was a monthly trip to different parts of the Eastern Cape. Should the opportunity arise again, we will certainly contact you, that is if you are not fully booked. Maybe Purple Indigo the next time because of the lovely spot you have on the banks of the mighty Umzimvubu. Nevertheless, our hosts allowed us to fish from Purple Indigo! Thank you!Junaid SayedPietermaritzburg

Marvelous Trees - Very warm place/owners. We realy liked the place. Gavin and Barbara are very friendly and warm people. The flat we had was well equipped, spacious and clean. The flats are in a wonderfull garden, it feels like your in the jungle in asia. Our kids liked it very much, they were so friendly to them. You defenetly should stay more than 1 night here. Port St. Johns is very unique as well as exploring Transkei. If you wanna see a different Southafrica go and visit Transkei. You wont regret it. We would defenetly stay longer next time.

Stayed at Bamba lodge and purple indigo for a while working in the area and gavin and Barbara made it feel like home.

We really enjoyed our stay here at Bamba Lodge and Gavin and Barbara were very pleasant and helpful thank you. The Accommodation was very comfortable and beautiful surroundings and facilities. Units were well equipped and satisfactory for the 5 days we were there. We had a lot to do and enjoy 😊. Thanks also to Sibu who was so pleasant and joyful. Loved it.

I very much enjoyed my stay with my husband at Bamba Lodge. The owners were so helpful. My husband said it was one of the best fishing experiences of his life. Our cottage was a fabulous place to stay. We are hoping to go back next year.
