Palm Tree Lodge

The Palm Tree Lodge is set in the Northern most part of the St Lucia Wetlands and bordering on the Green belt of the Maputuland Coast line. Although there are no private resorts permitted with in the National Parks this quaint holiday destination is neatly tucked up close to the main gate of the regional Parks Board offices making the acquisition of all the necessary permits as easy as possible and also lends its self as a base camp for launching craft onto the lakes as well as the Sea Launches which take place in Ponto Du Oure more commonly known as “Ponta”. The main aim of the resort is to offer it’s guests a true feeling of the African bushveld with a little bit of the tropics as it is inundated with fruit baring Coconut Palms during the summer months. There are also Campsites available with electricity. It is the natural surroundings that make this resort a destination for the true lover of the out doors. Back at the Lodge itself, it is, however, all hospitality. The Boma is situated in the middle of the lodge so that interaction is promoted and creating a cozy atmosphere in which the guests can relax. Stripped from all the noise from your Television, Computer games, Kids PlayStation and Booming Radio’s, beeping cars and annoying alarms, The Palm Tree Lodge takes you away from the everyday stress and noise and brings you back to Nature! You’ll be brought back to the earth, feel the sand between your toes, fall asleep to the sound of the abundance of palm trees rustling in the wind and marvel at the beauty of the plants and shrubs throughout the premises. The perfect place to rest, relax and recharge.
