Makakatana Bay - North Coast - KwaZulu Natal - Coast - South Africa
The land on which Makakatana Lodge lies has been owned by the Morrison Family since the 1930's. Here the glorious, unspoiled wetland, provides an undeniable attraction to lovers of wild life. Situated on the banks of the lake, this ten bedded luxury lodge welcomes you to an elegantly decorated 'home from home'.
Private, air-conditioned suites are splashed with a mixture of Eastern and African Interior styles. While three sides of the suites are lined with glass doors, one open with fly screens as protection against night time insects. At night there is a change of atmosphere as soft lights line the boardwalks linking the suites. A quick cocktail from the well-stocked bar fridge prepares you for the evening feasts.
An interconnecting walkway leads you to a private camouflaged bush pool that allows you to sit, unnoticed as you watch the wildlife on and around the lake. Enjoy a private, quiet holiday relaxing at the lodge, or indulge in the wildlife, wetland and beach splendors. Lake St Lucia supports just under four hundred bird species.
Experience the captivating Wetlands by boat and seek out hippo, crocodile, birds and wildlife or visit the world famous Big 5 'Hluhluwe-Umfolozi' Game Reserve.
