Situated near the quiet town of Mtunzini on KwaZulu-Natal’s north coast, Gooderson Mtunzini Forest Lodge is just over an hour’s drive from Durban with direct access to the Midlands via Vryheid/Melmoth and Zululand. Nestled in a lush sand forest bordering an unspoilt beach, this private resort offers a haven for nature enthusiasts. Enjoy cozy log cabins that provide a rustic ‘tree house’ experience, perfect for those who delight in natural surroundings, indigenous forests, and lush vegetation.
Mtunzini Forest Lodge offers comfortable self-catering accommodation complemented by amenities such as an outdoor swimming pool area featuring three large water slides: a supertube slide into the large pool, a standalone speed slide, and a slower kiddies slide into the small pool.
Other facilities include mini-golf, a children’s playground, conference facilities, and a games room.
Nearby attractions include the Umlalazi Nature Reserve, known for its hiking trails and diverse wildlife, the iconic Raffia Palm Monument, the pristine Mtunzini Beach, and the scenic Mtunzini Country Club for golf enthusiasts. Additionally, the Tugela River and local markets provide opportunities for fishing, boating, and exploring local crafts and produce.
