Liked: We loved everything about Zambuka. Kay is so lovely and welcoming, the view is stunning, the toilets and showers are excellent. The location was perfect. The cows came to visit up to the fence, the field is great. We can’t wait to come back. We loved the cafe on the beach just down the road, we also visited Durdle Door, Lyme Regis, Portland Bill, Weymouth Harbour, and Swanage. A really beautiful stay. Thank you.
Disliked: Our only struggle was finding the site entrance on the busy road, a sign down on the road would be really helpful, especially as phone signal is limited

Liked: Beautiful area with plenty of walks.
Disliked: No one to meet and explain that there was access to the walks avoiding the busy road. Expensive for facilities available when compared to other sites in the area. Additional charge with respect to electricity felt excessive. Caravan parked immediately at entrance to the field, on owners land, had aggressive dogs which were not recalled.

Liked: Small and quiet site. Adults only and dog friendly. Showers were hot! It was nice to wake up to the cows in the field next door. We got a friendly welcome. Lovely pub and little stony beach about 30 minutes walk away via a scenic footpath.
Disliked: It’s on a busy road without a path, but it is quiet at night. Just something to be mindful of if you plan to walk out on foot.

Liked: An amazing welcome with a view that makes you think wow !!! Very peaceful not a large camp site but that’s what makes the stay more special. U see the sun rise and set with over looking a view to the sea. Highly recommend staying here and the washing facilities are excellent and the hosts are so helpful 10/10 on everything !!

Liked: A peaceful location with an amazing view. Even our mobile devices failed to find a 4G signal - bliss! The loos and showers were spotlessly clean.
Disliked: At £30 per night, it seemed a little greedy to charge for electricity.

Liked: Quite good view.
Disliked: We are used to paying around 25 euros for quite luxurious facilities. Therefore it was a shock to be charged £35 plus £6.50 electricity for a simple field with a rudimentary shed as a toilet facility. We did enjoy the area though, despite the traffic noise.
