Luxury self-catering accommodation units located in the quaint village of Tofo Mozambique. Units are ideally located, with views that will take your breath away.
Each house is fully equipped and comfortably appointed. In the 3x3 bedroom houses your family and friends can spread out with ease between the three bedrooms and two bathrooms that sleep and accommodate 6 people. An open plan design of the dining, kitchen and living areas makes those rainy days so much more comfortable. These all centre towards the verandas that unashamedly stare on the beach views to either side and magnificent ocean ahead. An enclosed courtyard in the centre of each house provides sheltered space should the wind pick up. The 3x2 bedroom houses overlook the pool area and also have spectacular sea views. Each bedroom has a double bed and single bed with an en suite bathroom. The living and kitchen area seperate the 2 bedrooms. There is also an enclosed courtyard.
Just 200 metres from Casa John lies the relaxing setting of Casa Amarelo. This is the first house built by John and Jessica Youens – thus exhibiting many happy family comforts as well as memories. The house design is different to Casa John as the 2 of the 4 bedrooms (with en suite bathrooms) are joined to the house via wooden pathways. The open plan kitchen and living area are fully equipped and comfortably designed. Alfredo and staff are on call to see to your needs as well as overseeing daily cleaning. The spacious veranda oversees the magnificent ocean and Tofu monument, with easy access to Casa John's swimming pool.
Casa John forms the last outpost on the Tofinho Beach, just 20 kilometres south of Inhambane. Its position provides spectacular coastal views, the sea spray tingling the decks of the six luxury houses. Resident whale sharks loll in the immediate waters, competing for space when migratory Hump Back Whales make their appearance from early June to October. From the living areas, dolphins can be sighted chasing their catch, frustrating sea birds and interrupting your afternoon siesta.
Travel goes way beyond the sights and sounds of a destination. Eating out is an excellent opportunity to experience local culture. Tofo offers a variety of dining options, anything from freshly caught seafood to homemade pizza.
Diving & Snorkeling:
The Tofo marine area is increasingly gaining a reputation as one of the best diving spots in the world. It is highly likely that you will spot whale shark on route to a dive and have the opportunity to snorkel with it. Invariably mantas circle you in numbers every time you go down on scuba off the famous Manta Reef. Also on show are cheeky devil rays, turtles, large schools of tropical fish, reef shark and the elusive harlequin shrimp.
Casa John is located on the pristine cost line of Tofinho, 20 minutes' drive from Inhambane city, Inhambane Province, on the south coast of Mozambique. Tofinho is situated ±500 km north of Maputo, and a 4 X 4 vehicle is not necessary as the road is mostly good condition tarmac, although some areas are affected by potholes and in need of some maintenance. However the last ±1 km is a dirt road. All roads are clearly sign posted. For detailed directions click here...

Tofo does lie in a malaria area and all malaria precautions should be taken. Casa John is however far from any marsh areas that can attract mosquitoes and enjoys an almost constant breeze that also drives them off.
