    The Lodge is very well stocked with items for self-catering. All knives and scissors were sharp and we never had to search for a utensil. The rooms were comfortable and the space was large enough for our large party to never feel cramped.

Having gone on Christmas holiday to Sodwana Bay with my family since I was 7 years old, this place and this house has a special place in my heart. Being an avid scuba-diver and bird-watcher, time spent on one of the top 10 dive sites in the world and area offering prolific birdlife, there is no question that Sodwana Bay offers something special.
Sodwana Bay first attracted scuba divers since it was named a national park in the 1950s. It is situated in the Maputuland Marine Protected Area and boasts to be the only recreational scuba diving area along the Isimangaliso coastlines. It is one of the top dive sites in the world. Since then it has also developed into a fisherman's paradise with it's annual fishing competitions such as the Billfish tourney. The Sodwana Bay Lodge is a gated complex with a security gate and 24 hour patrols. It is situated on the only road in Sodwana Bay between Mbazwana and the gate into Isimangaliso Wetland Park. It includes a restaurant, a 5 star PADI scuba diving centre and shop, two swimming pools. Staying in this resort puts you close with nature where nyala, monkeys, mongoose and birds are a daily sighting. Local shops, restaurants and bars. Only 6 kms from the beach driving through tropical rainforest. Only place in South Africa where you are allowed to drive on the beach. Permits available at the Isimangaliso Wetland Park gate before entering the beach and park.
