Zimbali Lodge by Dream Resorts

About this stay

Zimbali Lodge occupies a gated pocket of the Zimbali Coastal Resort eco-estate on South Africa's malaria-free Dolphin Coast, with no reserve fence or game-drive schedule to work around, just indigenous forest wrapping the golf course down to the coast. Rooms and suites carry a colonial-style fit-out, with sliding doors leading onto balconies that face either the forest canopy or the fairways. Free-standing Victorian bathtubs sit alongside a separate shower and private toilet in every bathroom. Outside, an infinity pool ringed by palm trees anchors the grounds, backed by a spa and a restaurant for evenings that don't require a drive. Ballito's shops and beaches are five minutes away, Durban and Umhlanga sit within reach, and King Shaka International Airport is roughly twenty minutes from the gate.
