Sandforest Cottages

Sandforest Cottages offers tranquil self-catering accommodation within a nature reserve bordering an ancient sand forest, just 1.5 kilometers from False Bay Park and a 20-minute drive from the renowned Hluhluwe/iMfolozi Game Reserve in the St Lucia Wetlands Park. The property features a selection of one and two-bedroom cottages, each equipped with modern amenities including en-suite bathrooms, air-conditioning, mosquito nets, and ceiling fans. All units come with well-appointed kitchenettes and private patios with dedicated barbecue facilities.

The location provides guests with unique wildlife viewing opportunities, as the surrounding sand forest is home to various antelope species including Nyala, Impala, Steenbok, and Duiker, along with diverse birdlife and mongoose. Evening activities often include wildlife watching from private verandas, where guests might spot Genet Cats, Bushbabies, and the Giant Eagle Owl. The proximity to Hluhluwe/iMfolozi Game Reserve offers convenient access to Big 5 game viewing.

Situated in the pristine Elephant Coast, one of South Africa's most spectacular regions, the property is surrounded by diverse freshwater ecosystems including rivers, plains, coastal lagoons, lakes, swamps, and semi-permanent pans. The location serves as an ideal base for wildlife enthusiasts and bird watchers, with a walking trail through the Sand Forest providing additional exploration opportunities.

Being within a game reserve, the establishment maintains a peaceful environment by prohibiting television sets and loud noise, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the natural surroundings. The cottages are thoughtfully positioned within the forest-like setting to maximize privacy and wildlife viewing opportunities.
