GUEST REVIEWS
“MEMORABLE AND SPECIAL”
Excellent service, lovely cuisine, a great local wine selection, and well appointed en-suite accommodation exactly as advertised, all right next to a pristine and remote beach.
We have not seen Milky Way galaxy that bright in some time. To David and all of his team, thank you for making our stay so memorable and special. We had a lovely relaxing time. The snorkeling so close by was just amazing. Better than what we have seen at the Great Barrier reef in AUS.

The best small hotel/lodge we have been to in Southern Africa. The best hotel food in Southern Africa, superb friendly, helpful, knowledgable staff. This has been achieved without much of a footprint on the natural environment. The absence of televison and mobile phone reception is a blessing, as the wifi service is good and there is still some form of communication.

“100% rating”
Thonga Beach Lodge has managed to create an ideal atmosphere. Relaxed, family orientated but still a complete spoil. Food is delicious, rooms are stylish and staff are friendly. It's position is on an amazing stretch of coastline and if snorkelling or diving is not your thing, then you can just relax on the sundeck with a G&T, watch the whales and soak up the sun. Need to destress? Visit Thonga!!!

“This is our 4 th visit to Thonga.”
This is our 4 th visit to Thonga. there is no where in SA where you literally live on the beach. we go there to dive, but weven though the conditions were not good we had a fabulous time. The stall under the guidance and manafgement of Ondine are incredible. Mark and Tristan were proffessional and felt safe in their company
Food by Promise and the team was amazing

“Perfect Romantic Getaway”
Thonga Beach Lodge is the perfect romantic getaway. The lodge is set in a forest next to the beach. Birds, butterflies, samango monkeys, whales and crabs all at the same time! You would never say there are any other people at the lodge when you get to the beach- open and quiet, it feels as if it is only you.
So many activities to choose from, the rooms are very private, comfortable and immaculate. Your every need seen to.
The staff members are very friendly, helpful and considerate.
The food is excellent- and healthy.
We will definitely be back and will most definitely explore the other Isibindi Lodges as well.
Excellent experience.

“Top notch beach holiday in secluded dream location”
We had an absolutely fantastic time at Thonga Beach Lodge and can highly recommend it if you are looking for quiet and relaxing get-away. Bungalows are spacious and stylish and you fall asleep to the sound of the waves hitting the beach. The staff could not have been more friendly and service-minded, they tended to our every need and made their very best to make our stay memorable. Food is simply excellent, healthy and great variety of dishes. Our teenagers loved to alternate between the pools by the lodge and the beach just a few metres away. Beautiful pristine beach with great snorkelling possibilities. Highlight of our stay was swimming with dolphins during the ocean experience boat-trip. Loved every part of this holiday!

“An Exceptional Lodge In A Breathtaking Location”
We stayed five nights at Thonga Beach Lodge and enjoyed the experience immensely. The location on a 'wilderness' beach is quite simply stunning, with the lodge built into the dunes behind so that it is virtually invisible. Our cottage (number 4) was beautifully appointed and provided an excluded and very restful experience - the huge and very comfortable bed, large shower room and vanity area were all thoughtfully designed for maximum comfort.
The standard of food was exceptional (all meals plus afternoon tea are included), with a very wide choice of dishes. Table service is highly efficient and friendly. Staff at the lodge, many of whom come from the local community were, without exception, extremely friendly and very efficient - some of the best staff we have ever encountered and comparable with the best luxury hotels we have stayed in in the far east.
There is a wide range of activities to do, most of which are included. Scuba diving and the Ocean Experience are charged extra - these two activities involve a beach launch of the boat into the surf and a return beach landing that are both exciting and hair raising if one hasn't done it before.
All in all Thonga Beach Lodge exceeded our expectations in every respect. If you're looking for a unique place to spend a few days in stunning surroundings then we highly recommend it.

“Holiday in Paradise”
There is no other place in the world like Thonga Beach. Best place to see dolphins and whales. Best accommodation in South Africa, with delightful meals. A remote beach with outstanding ocean experiences.
Thank you Thonga, for a truly memorable stay. And a special shout-out to Siphiwe, the resort's wonderful evening barman. We'll be back!

“Great location at the eastern shores of South Africa”
We visited Thonga Beach at the end of 2019 and enjoyed NewYear in the lodge. The lodga is beautifully situated on a picture-perfect beach. We spent 3 nights in the Deluxe Family Ocean View chalet (nr. 8) and this was magnificient. We had two seperate rooms and a nice plunge pool with ocean views.... We drove down from Kruger to this lodge and it's a great complementary location to add to a safari trip. Food was excellent, nice staff, great rooms.
