Zimbali Lodge is a large but nice resort located on the South African coast. This area has nice weather almost year round and can be an affordable beach option to consider. The coastline is beautiful.
~ Mango Opinion
Zimbali Lodge is one of Southern Africas most exclusive hideaways, set within the serene confines of a coastal forest reserve on the north coast of KwaZulu Natal - a natural subtropical paradise and home to mischievous dolphins and a myriad of sea and bird life. The hotel overlooks the incredible Indian Ocean and is surrounded by lush vegetation and beautiful indigenous gardens.
It is a boutique hotel offering 5-star luxury accommodation, and is decorated to complement the natural surrounding forest. The classical architecture is accentuated by warm wood and russet autumn tones. The bathrooms are luxurious and feature Victorian baths from the turn of the century. Each room has a mini-bar which is well-stocked with a selection of beverages and light snacks. Butlers are on hand to attend to the guests every need including room service. A very select ensemble of delicious snacks and light meals grace the room service menu.
Dining options include the Restaurant and Fountain Court. This intimate venue, in which the decor enhances the colonial mood of the lodge, is lavishly designed, incorporating the rich hues of crafted wooden furniture and specially designed fabrics. The chef insists that only the freshest ingredients are good enough for the delicious meals presented at Zimbali Lodge. There is also the Lounge with its fireplace and colonial elegance, providing a delightful after dinner venue.
