A sanctuary from the chaos of the city, Oku House on the Wild Coast of South Africa knows that subtle comforts go a long way in making a stay memorable.

Only an hour's drive from East London (King Phalo) Airport, Morgan Bay has been a retreat for Warren and Rudi for over 30 years. The home, a 4-bedroom cabin, overlooks the lagoon and is only 200 meters from the beach.

Quality linens, the delightful (non-edible) bathroom products, the high-pressure outdoor shower, and the carefully considered little touches subtly add to the luxury of your stay, making it a visit to be repeated.
