Sandforest Cottages

Sandforest Cottages are situated on a nature reserve on the edge of an ancient sand forest and lie 1.5km west of False Bay Park - part of the greater St Lucia Wetlands Park. The Lodge is a 20 minutes from the Hluhluwe/iMfolozi Game Reserve.

The self-catering accommodation comprises a number of comfortable one and two-bedroom cottages. The en-suite bedrooms are equipped with air-conditioning, mosquito nets, ceiling fans, kitchenette, private patio and barbecue facility. Please note that we are a Game Reserve and do not allow Television or loud noise.

Meander through our sand forest, walk with the Nyala Impala, Steenbok and Duiker, sit a while and experience the ethereal atmosphere. Observe the many varieties of birds in the trees and the Mongooses running through the forest.

At the end of the day relax on your veranda and experience the evening sounds, the bashful Bushbabies will be watching you from above, the cautious Genet Cats will be peeping at you from behind the trees, the Giant Eagle Owl sits above and watches you all with a superior attitude and grunts his approval at the tranquil setting. Big 5 to be seen at Hluhluwe/iMfolozi Game Reserve.

The Elephant Coast is one of South Africa's most beautiful and unspoilt areas. Few areas in Africa have the incredible diversity of freshwater ecosystems found on the coast. There are major rivers, broad plains, large coastal lagoons, deep clear coastal lakes, extensive swamps and semi-permanent pans. Abundant game and bird species and a wild variety of flora.
