Ponta Beach Camps: General Ponta Beach Camps is an affordable, family beach resort directly on the main Beach of the quaint little seaside village of Ponta do Ouro, Southern Mozambique. Ponta do Ouro is the most Southerly Mozambican town, situated just 4 kms (as the Seagull flies) from the Kosi Bay border with South Africa. For those that don?t have 4 x 4 vehicles, cars can be left at the secure parking area at the Border, and transfers to the resort arranged Our emphasis is on Affordability and Informality without compromising Service & Quality. Ponta Beach Camps are essentially 3 separate camps and a small private campsite: 1. Ponta Beach Camps 2. Beach Front Camp 3. Ponta Beach Private Camp.
Ponta Beach Camps: Main Camp This is a fairly large camp, set back a little from the beach, under the coastal dune trees. There are essential two types of accommodation options available in this camp: Barracas which are traditional, reed constructed Mozambique style rooms, and Safari Tents which are the smaller, classic safari tents. Main Camp - Barracas (Standard and Superior) These affordable units are constructed out of traditional reed materials, and designed in the typical Mozambican style. The units are fairly spacious, and well ventilated. Most units are two sleepers, but there are family units that can accommodate between 3 and 6 persons. Rooms are available that have either double, or twin single bed configurations. Subject to availability bed requirements can be arranged to suite the customers requirements. There is also one single bed unit. The only difference between the Standard & Superior Barracas is the quality of the mattresses, and their situation. The Superior Barracas are generally situated in a more favourable, shaded position. They also have superior, hotel quality mattresses. The standard units are mainly twin bed rooms, and are not as protected from sun and road noise. They also have budget sponge mattresses These units are situated behind the beach camp, between the Restaurant and main campsite entrance road As they are ajoin each other, they are not very private regarding sounds. Beds have 2 pillows for double bed, and single pillow for single bed. All beds are fitted with mattress and pillow protectors. They all have a fitted bottom sheet, and light duvet. NB: During the winter months an extra blanket or duvet may be required. Please take your own extra blanket if you feel you may be cold Service: these rooms are generally not serviced. Should you require them to be cleaned, please notify reception what time you would like this done. The room occupant must be present when the rooms are being cleaned. Each unit is equipped with a fan, mosquito nets for each bed, and plug point (2 pin plug) There is one central ceiling light. Subject to load demands electricity to the rooms may be switched off between 6.00 am and 3.00 pm Electrical There are double plug points (SA 3 pin) in each room. Plug points have limited capacity, are for charging cell phones and hair dryers only. Fridges and portable fridges are not allowed in the rooms. Plug points can be hired in the main dining area. Extra Beds: Extra beds are possible in most units at the relevant price list price. Main Camp: Safari Tents (Standard and Superior) Our Safari tents are custom made tents, specifically designed with the Mozambican heat, and mosquitoes in mind. They have been designed to ensure that they are well ventilated, yet mosquito proof. They have 4 (2 each side) large mosquito proof zipped windows, and the roof pitch at either side is open to allow thru flow of air (also covered with mosquito gauze. They have a double zipped door, so the outer canvas door can be left open, and the inner mosquito gauze door still lets air in. The only difference between the Standard & Superior Safari tents basically is their situation in the Main Camp. The Superior Safari Tents are generally situated under the trees, and are more widely spaced for greater privacy. Each individual tent has its own private Gazebo protecting it. The Standard Safari Tents are utilized generally by large groups, dive schools, and student groups who want to be together. They are group together, under a large communal gazebo. Both types are equipped and fitted out exactly the same These tents provide a relatively comfortable camping experience, without the hassle of bringing and erecting your own tents, at almost the same price you would pay for a campsite in the adjacent public camp ground All tents have 2 single beds. These are steel spring camp beds, and have superior hotel quality mattresses. Beds have a fitted bottom sheet, and light duvet, and pillow. It is not possible to accommodate a double bed, or extra bed in these tents. In exceptional circumstances, for infants 2 years and under, small mattresses may be brought and placed between the beds. NB: During the winter months an extra blanket or duvet may be required. Please take your own extra blanket if you feel you may be cold Electrical: Each unit is equipped with one central ceiling light. There are no fans or plug points. Extra Beds: It is not possible to fit an extra bed in any of the tents. Service: the tents are not serviced at all.
