In summer, nocturnal explorations along the beach in search of egg laying sea turtles can be arranged. There is a swimming pool and sun deck for those who want to relax around the lodge. Whales and Dolphins are sometimes seen off-shore. Birding is very good and a number of typical coastal species occur - Green Twinspot, Green Coucal, Gray Waxbill, Purplecrested and Livingstone's Louries. Natal Robin and jewel-like Emerald Cuckoo in forests, and Pinkthroated Longclaw and Rufousbellied Heron in marshy areas.
Various waders frequent the shoreline.
Twenty guests can be accommodated comfortably. An intricate boardwalk winds from the lodge, through the dune forest and down to the beach. While the numbers of sea turtles have declined throughout the world's oceans in recent years, the Natal Parks Board have managed to halt their decline on the South African coast. This may not be enough, however, as these turtles travel great distances and are often the innocent victims of gill nets, oil spills and marine pollution. Scheduled transfer to the Cape Grace Hotel for 3 nights on a bed and breakfast basis.
