De Novo Lodge is situated in Port Edward on the renowned Old Pont Road, leading to the Umtamvuna River and Nature Reserve, and is only 5 minutes drive from the Silver Strand.

The lodge comprises of 5 units that sleep 4 persons per unit. 4 of the 5 units have a fully equipped kitchenette. The 5th unit is for overnight guests or the "overflow" of families consisting of more than 4 persons. 3 of the units are air-conditioned and 2 are equipped with a ceiling fan. All the units have a TV. Bedding and all kitchen appliances, such as a microwave and fridge / freezer, needed for a problem free holiday is provided. There are braai (barbecue) facilities available. Towels and toiletries are unfortunately not provided.

A wide variety of birdlife is found here and this makes the area a bird lover's paradise. The park-like gardens gives a restful and serene atmosphere. There is a fresh water swimming pool on the grounds, and lots of room for the kids to play. The lodge is secure with an access controlled gate and safe parking. Each unit has its own security system. We are "a well kept secret" because the units are situated behind a huge wild fig tree that shields them from the road.
