Situated in the heart of Sodwana Bay, an UNESCO World Heritage Site, you will find Mseni Beach Lodge – the place of happiness, where laughter and joy resounds!

Our comfortably modern cottages and lovely beach house, are nestled in the beautiful indigenous bush of Zululand’s iSimangaliso Wetland Park. The cottages were planned, so as not to disturb the lush dune forest and most are tucked away among unspoilt surrounds.

The pool area is ideally situated to make the most of our beautiful Zululand sunsets, while you relax on a pool lounger and enjoy the view.

An enchanting walkway leads down to one of the most breathtakingly beautiful and secluded beaches, on South Africa’s pristine coastline.

Watching the sunrise here is an amazing start to your day. This is also a great spot for the keen angler who enjoys rock and surf fishing. Whale watching from our restaurant deck between June and October is a highlight and an added bonus to the great food and warm and friendly service you will experience with us.

Here at Mseni Beach Lodge, we aim to provide excellent and friendly service and an overall wonderful experience to complement our awesome views!
