About the development
The Development
Established in 1994, Haga Haga Retreat is a small and exclusive development along a pristine stretch of the Eastern Cape coastline, just 60km drive from East London. The development is set on the magnificent Wild Coast, where the Indian Ocean meets the rugged coastline and pristine beaches of the Eastern Cape of South Africa.
Retreat, is exactly that, an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city; a retreat from the pressures and stresses of modern life into the tranquility and relaxation of the Wild Coast. On any given day, you could be the only person on the beach, just a few minutes stroll from Retreat.
Tucked into the indigenous coastal forest, surrounded by rolling hills and farmlands on either side, bounded by the Haga Haga River and the warm Indian Ocean, this is the perfect location to build a family seaside holiday home or a residential retreat.

Nature and wildlife
There is abounding birdlife at and around Retreat, an unspoilt natural haven for a large number of species. From panoramic sea views, to the magnificent tropical forests on the adjacent cliff, Haga Haga Retreat offers the opportunity to reside amongst unparalleled natural beauty.
Retreat's infrastructure has been designed to be as unobtrusive as possible, with much of the indigenous bush remaining completely intact. We encourage our homeowners to plant indigenous trees and gardens to complement the Eastern Cape flora and fauna. The roadways have been designed in such a way as to minimise their environmental impact and to ensure that the look and feel of the development is as natural as possible.
The homes
The existing home owners have built magnificent homes in keeping with the guidelines of Retreat. The homes along the river are ingeniously designed amongst the coastal forest along the bank of the river offering spectacular river, sea and cliff views, while the homes on the elevated sections of Retreat make the most of the spectacular panoramic sea views.
