Description

Beach Forest Lodge – Ballito

Beach Forest Lodge is tucked away in the heart of Ballito, just 400 m from the beach, overlooking the serene tropical Pigeonwood Forest. This owner-managed lodge offers 4 stylish self-catering apartments, each with its own private patio or balcony and braai facilities, making it the perfect choice for families, couples, or groups.

Guests can enjoy the tranquil tropical gardens, a sparkling swimming pool, and both indoor and outdoor entertainment areas with a large wooden deck — ideal for lazing in the sun or relaxing in the shade. The lodge is also pet-friendly (by arrangement), so your furry friends don’t have to miss out on the holiday fun.

Each apartment is air-conditioned and fully equipped with a kitchen, flat-screen TV with DStv channels, and free Wi-Fi:

Milkwood: A luxury double-volume apartment that sleeps 4, featuring an upstairs queen bedroom with en-suite bathroom and sea glimpses, plus 2 single beds downstairs. Large glass doors create a light, spacious atmosphere. (Please note: Milkwood has steep stairs inside and is not suitable for toddlers or elderly guests.)

Waterberry: A spacious 4-sleeper with a separate queen bedroom, bathroom, and 2 single beds in the living area. The unit opens onto a terrace and the main wooden deck.

Pigeonwood: Sleeps 5 guests with a queen bed in the main bedroom and a tri-bunk in a second sleeping area. Sliding doors open to a balcony with built-in braai overlooking the pool.

Yellowwood: A cosy ground-floor studio for 2, featuring an open-plan design, kitchenette, en-suite bathroom, and patio with braai.

Please note: Beach Forest Lodge is built on a slope, so there are varying degrees of stairs to most units, except Yellowwood.
