“Sunset Bay Lodge is one of those properties that can be hard to pin down; while the location in East London holds undeniable appeal for budget-conscious travelers eager to explore, reports of access issues suggest a need for improved management and communication. For a solo adventurer, the gamble on potential inconvenience might outweigh the savings. I feel that until the operational kinks are ironed out, other options may offer a more reliable base for exploring the area.”
