Pre-Arrival Provisioning Service

Simply send your shopping list to the provided email one week before arrival; orders must be submitted by Tuesday and will be delivered the following Monday. If you would like local produce or items, we can shop on your behalf based on availability — just include them on your list. This service is available for a 20% service fee, plus the cost of the groceries.

Which electrical plug types are used?

Our outlets primarily fit standard South African Type M (three-round-prong) plugs. However, we highly recommend bringing Type C or N (two-point) adapters for your electronic devices and chargers, as these are frequently used throughout the property.

You can reach us easily by air or road:

By Air: Fly into Vilankulo Airport (VNX). From there, we can help arrange a scenic 1.5-hour road shuttle north to Inhassoro.

Are there any essentials guests should pack?

To make your stay as comfortable as possible, we highly recommend packing the following items:

Beach & Pool Towels (While we provide bath towels for your room, you will need your own towels for the beach and boat trips).
Two-Point Adapters (For charging phones, cameras, and laptops).
Mosquito & Insect Repellent (Essential for comfortable tropical evenings).
Sun Protection: High-SPF reef-safe sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and polarized sunglasses (especially if you plan to go out on the water).
Light Windbreaker/Light Jacket: For early morning boat trips or cooler ocean breezes in the evening.
Cash (Meticais or South African Rands): While card facilities are available in town, having some cash on hand is helpful for local markets, tips, or small beachside purchases.
