Thobeka Lodge is a rustic self-catering lodge crouched under large broad leafed trees. Each room is connected by wooden walkways that lead to a fully fitted kitchen, hot showers and toilets and a swimming pool.
The bar is as it should be ~ packed with cold beers and sofas so you can kick back and relax.
We offer double rooms, dormitories and family rooms, built according to the Zulu culture. Each room is separated by a rustic wooden walkway allowing you the privacy and space to kick back and enjoy uninterrupted relaxation time and includes comfortable beds, mosquito nets and a fan for those warm lazy afternoons and balmy African evenings.
Our self-catering kitchen is well-stocked with cooking utensils, crockery and fridges as well as tea, coffee and sugar. We provide hot showers and toilets as well as a laundry service at a small fee so you can put on some clean clothing after enjoying a hot revitalising shower.
Our braai area is located next to the pool, so you can braai, take a dip in the pool, a swig of your beer and embrace the freedom that Thobeka offers you.
Evenings at Thobeka Lodge are reliant upon what you wish to experience.
Local amenities are in close proximity to our African bush lodge where you can purchase fresh food products, local fruit and vegetables and African souvenirs to take home with you to your family and friends.
We have many excursions available for you and your family to participate in.
You don't need a 4 x 4 vehicle to get to Thobeka, but when you want to go to the beach, you will need a 4 x 4 vehicle, else you can follow the hiking trail down to Kosi mouth.
Kosi Bay mouth is part of the conserved coastal forest, so you cannot just drive to the beach without a permit or without paying your entrance fees.
Kosi Bay is a low risk Malaria area.
