· Rocktail Bay

Situated in northern Natal, within the Maputaland Coastal Forest Reserve and adjoining the Maputaland Marine Reserve, is Rocktail Bay Lodge. This lodge lies within a proclaimed World Heritage Site. The secluded lodge is situated metres from the Indian Ocean in the coastal forest, just behind the first row of forested dunes. It offers perhaps the most private beach experience in South Africa on 40 kilometres of unspoilt, undeveloped and pristine coastline. Rocktail Bay received its name after a trawling ship, the Rocktail, was wrecked off shore.

Ten wood and thatch "treehouse" chalets & a Family Room are raised up on stilts into the forest canopy. The chalets have en suite shower and toilet facilities and an outdoor shower. Twenty guests can be accommodated comfortably. There is a lounge/pub and dining area where meals are served under thatch or under the giant Natal Mahogany trees. A boardwalk winds from the lodge through the dune forest and down to the beach. There is a swimming pool and sun deck for those who want to relax around the lodge.
