Bush beach backpackers has it all. Pedro makes a great effort to make every feel welcome and have a great time. He does a really good walking tour which i would recommend. They will also help you organise whatever activity you need. Fansatatic food, great atmosphere with a beautiful view of the beach. The vilanculos beach is tidal but the patch bush beach is one of the best spots for when it is low high tide. While i was there a local musician was recording their music video at the hostel!

What an amazing place! This is a beautiful little hostel located right on the beach. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful when it comes to questions about the local area or Mozambique as a whole. The highlight of this hostel for me was the restaurant. An amazing menu of well-priced, fresh food ranging from shakshouka to prawn pasta. The fish filet was one of the best meals that I’d had in a very long time. The best part is that it’s reasonably priced!
