About this place
Sobhengu Lodge is a group of self-catering timber and thatch lodges at Malkoha Lake St. Lucia, on the Kwa-Nibela Peninsula on the quiet northern shore of Lake St Lucia, inside the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The lodges range from one to four bedrooms and sleep four to eight guests. Each has a fully equipped kitchen, an open-plan living and dining area under a high timber ceiling, beds under mosquito nets, ceiling fans, a safe and Wi-Fi, and a private timber deck set in the sand forest with views towards the lake. The one- and two-bedroom lodges add a loft sleeping area.
The sand forest, lake shore and floodplains around the peninsula form one of the richest birding areas in South Africa, and the estuary is home to hippo, crocodile and a remarkable variety of waterbirds. It suits families and groups who want space, their own kitchen and a quiet base on the lake.
