The secluded Rocktail Bay Lodge is situated within the coastal forest just behind the forested dunes that occur along Maputaland’s coastline. The warm Indian Ocean lies just beyond the dunes and on one of the most incredible beaches in all of South Africa.   With nearly 40 kilometres of unspoilt, pristine coastline, where the waves meet endless stretches of beach, it is possible to walk for hours without meeting another soul or seeing a building. Accommodation is in 11 wooden tree-house chalets, which are raised on stilts into the forest canopy. Each twin-bedded room has its own private deck, en-suite bathroom and additional outdoor shower, for those who wish to bathe surrounded by trees. The main area of the lodge has an inviting lounge and meals are enjoyed either in the separate dining room, at the poolside or under a giant Natal Mahogany tree or even on the beach. An intricate boardwalk winds from the lodge, through the dune forest and down to the sandy shore. Rocktail Bay Lodge offers comfortable accommodation that is ideal for people who want to truly relax and unwind on one of the best coastlines anywhere in the world.
