Our Opinion... Our Opinion: "a magnificent retreat set in idyllic surroundings along the spectacular Gold Coast of South Africa."  

Overlooking a natural lake and forested hillsides, the location of Zimbali Lodge is close to perfect. A play ground for mischievous dolphins, with an abundance of bird life and magnificent butterflies, this 300ha estate will leave you awe-inspired and revitalised.

The 76 rooms portray classical architectural design, accentuated by warm woods and russet autumn tones. Victorian baths from the turn of the century are the main feature in the luxurious bathrooms.

Dine at the "Restaurant and Fountain Court" which provides an intimate venue, in which the décor enhances the colonial mood of the Lodge, lavishly designed to incorporate the rich hues of crafted wooden furniture and specifically designed fabrics.

Leave the stresses of city life behind you as you indulge yourself in the Health and Beauty Spa, nestled amongst indigenous foliage of a natural haven. Relaxing and energising massages along with other traditional therapeutic treatments will leave you refreshed and revitalised to explore the surrounding area with reinforced vigour.
