Maputaland Lodge - Accommodation in St Lucia, KwaZulu-Natal

Maputaland Lodge the Accommodation in St Lucia, KwaZulu-Natal is a great value and a top spot from which to sample the joys of the World Heritage Site, beaches, reefs and big game of the area. Jorg, who is very modest about his talents, is the bird fundi (430 local species live locally!) and his sister Nicola is a dive-master. And they are both registered professional game guides too, so you’ve got no excuse to laze about! They guide trips out into nearby Hluhluwe-Umfolozi reserve.

Price: 3

bed and breakfast

2 doubles and 3 twins

And, amazingly, Jorg likes to explore the streets of St Lucia itself, taking his guests on night safaris! Hippos, impala and on rare occasion even leopards can be seen wandering about the pavements. Bush babies and chameleons come out during the cicada-hours too. The lodge is recently built, homely, relaxed and comfortable. But you’re hardly here to stay indoors! Jorg does a cracking ‘bonnet breakfast’ for those that go with him on day tours (starting at 4 am and getting back at 6pm).

Nicola’s dive tours are also run on a no-limits basis too and you can dive and snorkel as many times as you like. Ask them about turtle-watching tours (two rare breeds come here), deep-sea fishing and fly-casting for 1.5-metre darga-salmon (which Jorg sometimes also cooks on the braai). Exciting, but very friendly with it. The comfortable double rooms has ensuite bathrooms and Coffee and Tea making facilities. Walk out of the bedroom into the garden and pool area. A Nice refreshing splash in the pool after a long day in the sun, or laze around the pool and relax in this beautiful garden setting while you are entertained by bird.
