This is a boutique eco-lodge, situated 10km from the Mozambique border, on the edge of the world heritage site, Isimangaliso wetland park. Nestled into the coastal forest, this private sanctuary awaits. Turtle laying and hatching are seasonal, November-March, but kayaking, snorkeling, boat tours, nature trails and birding are a few of the experiences for you to enjoy all year round.

Every unit is private and unique, allowing you to experience the environment. There is no glitz and glamour but is comfortable, peaceful and is in harmony with nature. From spacious interiors with en suite bathrooms and private balconies, the eco-units provide the perfect base from which to explore all the area has to offer. Chinderera is on solar power and completely off the grid. And we offer free uncapped wifi and a lounge where guests can relax with a hot or cold drink from the self-service station, and chat and enjoy a boardgame or two. Our dining menu offers unique Afro-fusion dishes that hail from around the continent of Africa. We cater for vegetarians, vegans, pescatarians, and some allegies (please enquire).

If you are a star buff we rate three on the Bortel scale of dark skies.

Chinderera Eco Lodge was designed to capture the soul of Africa and to create a very low carbon footprint. 
The Lodge is built in the sand forest, and blends into the environment off the beaten track. Although the lodge is off a sand road, a normal car will have no problem.
 
Our ethos is to challenge global warming and plastic waste in our small way, and we invite our guests to experience this with us at the lodge. 

We provide community upliftment and our activities are eco friendly as we offer hiking in the forest and on pristine beaches. We lead by example and enjoy sharing in the culture and tradition of the local people of Kosi Bay in this beautiful corner of South Africa.
