If you truly want to relax and unwind on one of the wildest coastlines anywhere in the world, then Rocktail Bay Lodge may be your idea of heaven.  Located within one of South Africa’s World Heritage Sites, Rocktail offers perhaps the most private beach experience in South Africa with nearly 25 miles of unspoiled, pristine coastline.  Here you have the rare privilege of walking for hours without meeting another soul.

Accommodation is in 11 wooden tree-house chalets. Each en suite room has its own private balcony and an additional outdoor shower in the forest.  A boardwalk winds from the lodge, through the dune forest and down to the beach.

The majority of activities are marine-based.  The lodge has a fully accredited dive center and diving operation that is unrivalled in South Africa for its access to remote, exclusive reefs.  At low tide a boat will take you to scuba dive and snorkel on the pristine coral reefs that have just recently been found and explored and whose access is restricted.

Saltwater fly-fishing, horse back riding, bird hides and drives to the nearby hippo pools are also available. During the summer months, Rocktail Bay Lodge is integrally involved in ongoing turtle research.
