Makakatana Bay Lodge is the only privately-owned lodge in the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park in KwaZulu-Natal, and the area is cornucopia for nature lovers and those who like to be active.
In the greater St. Lucia Wetland Park, Makakatana Bay Lodge is the only privately owned lodge resting peacefully amongst a natural estuary.
For your preference the twelve bedded Lodge has five standard rooms and one honeymoon suite. The luxurious rooms look onto either the dune forests or the Lake St Lucia and are elegantly furnished with air conditioning to combat the humidity characteristic of KwaZulu-Natal.
All of the six rooms have Eastern and African interiors and are completed with heating, tea facilities, outdoor showers and a separate bathroom and toilet.
A private deck provides a peaceful retreat to sit quietly and celebrate nature. Here you can marvel at the dune forests inhabited by warthog, red duiker, nyala, bush babies, hippo and an impressive variety of birds.
Equally tranquil and attractively positioned is Makakatana Bay Lodge's swimming pool and deck at the edge of Lake St Lucia- a real magical spot!
A wooden walkway at Makakatana Bay Lodge leads back to a wine cellar built into the base of an ancient tree, communal lounge, dining room and outdoor dining deck.
Another wonderful place for alfresco meals is around the boma fire at Makakatana Bay Lodge or if total seclusion is what you need, even your own private romantic dinner can be arranged!
Makakatana Bay Lodge offers a vast selection of safari and other activities around the unspoilt wilderness beaches, vast wetlands and game reserves of the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park.
Nature trails, bird watching, boating, fishing, snorkelling, game drives and cultural visits to local villages are all fun activities waiting to be explored!
