    The Lodges are beautifully located on a river overlooking a natural forest. The birdlife was incredible. The Lodge also offers free WiFi And laundry services (for a fee). We had a very comfortable stay.

    I loved the breathtaking views of the river and greenery. The wooden cabin has a warm and cosy feel to it. Like something out of a movie. Truly spectacular! A beautiful hidden destination in the heart of Durban.
