If you're a beginner, we'll set up lessons each day to get you going and having a blast in no time. If you're intermediate or expert, we'll find the best place for your skill and desires!

The adventure

This focal point of South Africa, where oceans meet, cultures collide and beauty transcends, calls to be discovered – at least once in your lifetime. South Africa is a world in one place with a mosaic of culture, history, landscape, wildlife and adventure.

Josh created Saffa Tours because he wanted to give people a customized, local experience of South Africa. He strives to ensure we go beyond the tourist traps to allow people to leave with more than just photographs and souvenirs.

In a wave-rich region where waves are on 365 days a year, Josh's extensive knowledge and network allows him to know what wave will be best on the day. You will head out on a surf mission every day whilst exploring the Souther Edge of Africa, its wildlife, scenery, rich culture, and cuisine.

Outside of surf missions, before and after will be time at leisure where you may spend relaxing at your beachfront accommodation, on the beach, exploring the village of Kommetjie on foot, or further if you have your form of transport.

Accommodation

Both options are based in Kommetjie. Kommetjie is a great base as there are many surf spots of all types within a 30 min drive and it is rich in surf culture. Whether you’re on a budget and a 4-star guesthouse is all you need, or you’re splurging for the trip of a lifetime and wish to stay in an oceanfront 5-star boutique hotel, we’ve got you covered.

4 Star Guesthouse

Nestled in Kommetjie, a beautiful seaside village, our guesthouse is perfect for a romantic weekend away, a family holiday, or even a surf trip. We want our guests to feel like royalty and to experience luxury in our corner of paradise. In both rooms, the windows frame the beautiful views of the ever-changing Atlantic Ocean. Each time you look through the windows it is as if a new piece of art has been hung.

Lying in bed at night, looking up at the exposed thatch roof, and listening to the waves crash is the perfect recipe for the best night’s sleep you’ve ever had.

Wake up refreshed to beautiful views. Walk 100m down to the beach with your morning coffee. Relax in a spa bath or take a shower with a view of the ocean, then sit down to enjoy a delicious Full English breakfast… What more could you want?

5 Star Boutique Hotel

All six elegantly appointed sea-facing rooms in our beachfront boutique hotel embrace the restful, marine-inspired décor. Relax on your balcony, perfectly chilled drink in hand, and drift off to the hypnotic sounds of life at the beach. Our resort-style experience includes most meals and beverages for guests' enjoyment; our seafood dinner is a highlight. Not a fan of seafood? Our chefs are on hand to whip up a delicious alternative, made to your liking. Above all its virtues, The Last Word Long Beach's most remarkable feature belongs to our lovely team.

If you seek a Long Beach luxury boutique hotel promising breathtaking moments and soul awakening experiences, look no further. From the comfort of each spacious room, enjoy endless views of the Atlantic Ocean ahead and the Chapman's Peak mountains beyond. Our elegant, spacious Superior Rooms, Elegant Suites, and singular Junior Suite provide our guests with the perfect destination for a romantic escapade, fresh-air family bonding, or surfing safari with friends. Special occasions invite run-of-house bookings for a sublime experience of this shoreline paradise belonging only to you. Each gorgeous, luxury guest room, replete with en-suite bathroom, locally inspired botanical amenities, flatscreen TV, mini-bar, hairdryer, ample wardrobe space, personal safe, and private balcony invites repose.
