Rocktail Bay offers perhaps the most private beach experience in South Africa. Rocktail Bay received its name after a trawling ship, the Rocktail, was wrecked off shore.

Eleven wood and thatch "treehouse" chalets & a Family Room are raised up on stilts into the forest canopy. The chalets have en suite shower and toilet facilities and an outdoor shower.

There is a lounge/pub and dining area where meals are served under thatch or under the giant Natal Mahogany trees. A boardwalk winds from the lodge through the dune forest and down to the beach. There is a swimming pool and sun deck for those who want to relax around the lodge.

It has its own "Big Five": Leatherback Turtle, Loggerhead Turtle, Palmnut Vulture, Buitons Skink and Zululand Cycad. Whales and Dolphins are seen off shore and Birding is good with number of rare coastal species.

Activities include enjoying the pristine beach, forest and beach walks, birdwatching, snorkelling, rock fishing, turtle watching, scuba diving.
