sustainable living 

Off Grid Holiday

Our houses are able to operate sustainably off grid most of the time. We are still connected to power and water supplies to use when need, but knowing that when things are down, you can still enjoy your stay, you can relax and enjoy your holiday.  All our houses have gas stoves and braai facilities to ensure that you never miss your morning coffee! 

Solar Power

We have recently installed solar power to 18 on Coral and The Loft.  It is a grid-tided system at this stage, which means that during the day and when it is sunny, the house is run on solar power.  It has limited battery storage,  and when necessary will use the electricity supply to boost the power required.  However during loadshedding, especially at night, we ask that guest are considerate and do not use the kettles, hairdryers, heaters and any other appliance that will pull too much power from the battery. This will ensure that there is plenty of reserve for lights, tv's and wifi .  
We would like to remind guest to turn lights off when not in use. 

Water Tanks

Our local municipal water relies on electrical pumps to pump water from the local water source to the filtration and water purification system, It is then pumped to header tanks and gravity fed to the village. We have plenty of water, however when there are power outages they can not pump water and during busy periods we run out of municipal water. The local rate payers association and community does their very best to ensure that we dont run out of water, but sometimes it is unavoidable. We have a back-up rain water tanks, pressure pump and generator should the power be off over longer periods.

Personal Service

Julie-Anne lives across the road from Nguni House, The Loft & 18 on Coral so is on hand to welcome you at check in and to assist with anything you may need during your stay.  The Corner House is a short 2 min drive away. 

We have a lovely team of ladies that clean and service the accommodation daily, so that you dont have to worry about dishes etc while on holiday!  

We welcome well behaved pets.

Where are we situated?

Pinned on Google maps as Kei Mouth Guest Lodge; 18 on Coral, The Loft & Nguni House is tucked away on Coral Street, just off the main road, with distant glimpses of the Kei River and Sea. It is a comfortable walk to the river and ferry crossing, and a short drive to the main bathing beaches. Its not on the beach, but the beach is not far away and you can hear the sea crashing!

The Corner House is at 2 Old Fort Hill Road.  It is made up of 4 units, that shares a sheltered, park like garden and the natural green belt across the road.  Turn right and the shop is a block away, and turn left, down past the church and you are close to the beach.
