Ironwood Lodge - Accommodation at the South Coast from KwaZulu-Natal

Ironwood Lodge is an Accommodation at the South Coast from KwaZulu-Natal. As you parked your car below the garden and walked up the steps (old ironwood railway sleepers) to the Ironwood Lodge, you might meet a barefoot man lightly sprinkled with dust, who introduce himself as Jim. Jim had taken advantage of a few precious moments of guestlessness to finish making a set of chairs. It turns out that Jim is one of those polymath South Africans with umpteen strings to his bow. He has been in turn a fisherman, geography teacher and cabinet maker.

Price: 4

bed and breakfast

2 doubles, 4 double and twin

He does most things around Ironwood Lodge himself, from picking mussels off the beach and cooking them (or if not mussels then other fresh seafood). to building irrigation channels taking rainwater to his veggies, and making the furniture for the terrace. This is generally where meals are served, often by Jim and Caron’s two children, Clinton and Warren, who clearly enjoy taking turns as head waiter. “Ironwood has a garden of Eden… except you can pick the fruit and you don’t get thrown out!” wrote one guest, and Jim likes guests to enjoy the fruits of his labour (you’ll get masses at breakfast). The six large, spacious bedrooms share the sea-view and come with their own garden or terrace upstairs. The beach is just over the road and golf courses proliferate in the area. A very relaxed vibe.

So if your looking for a place where art, beauty and time away are important then the Ironwood Lodge is worth a second look.
