On the isolated northern bank of the beautiful Mtentu Estuary, just across from Mkambati, is this lodge. Six comfortable wood cabins and a dorm with ocean views are linked by a boardwalk running through the naturally landscaped property. Toilets are communal and showers are gas or solar powered. Three meals a day can be provided for R340 per person.
A range of activities is on tap, including hiking, horse riding, canoeing and cycling – as is good ol’ fashioned chilling out on the surrounding beaches. In dry weather, Mtentu can be reached in a 2WD car with high clearance, and there are other options including shuttles, guided shared taxi rides and guided hikes. In all cases, contact the lodge in advance to arrange your visit.
