| Physical address........ Eastern Beach Esplanade Quigney East London 5201 |
This East London backpackers lodge is located right on the beach in East London and overlooking a great swell.
They are in Esplanade Road right on the beach front, 20m beyond the point at which the road becomes a one-way.
Sugarshack is an easy place to hang out at. When we walk in we slot into a laid-back holiday vibe and all we want to do is climb into a hammock with a cold bevvy...
Comfortable wooden shacks nestle amongst the bushes in the dunes, perfectly positioned for awesome ocean views from individual decks.
Surfboards, rubber ducks and a host of toys lean haphazardly against walls confirming the “Glad I'm Alive” status of the place. Yeah, this is a real beach hangout.
Evenings can be spent around the Shacks’ rocking bar or at the neighbouring Sports Pub that cranks till dawn thanks to live bands and good cheap food.
The whale and dolphin watching tower offers fantastic 180° views of the ocean which is only 20m away - so even when you’re not partaking in their heart-thumping activities you can exercise voyeuristically.
