DESCRIPTION:
 
At Tranquility Lodge we wish you to join us and experience this wonderful place where the ocean and the forests meet in magnificent splendour. Leave the world behind you and let your worries seep away and renew your soul. Situated in the heart of the hamlet of Natures Valley, which is part of the Tsitsikamma National Park on the Garden Route, we are surrounded by spectacular beaches and the sound of crashing waves is interspersed only with that of the garden's singing birds and trickling water features. We are situated approximately 50m from the beach where you can lay soaking up the sun while watching dolphins playing in the surf or the breaching whales celebrating new life.

The lodge is mostly wooden in structure and truly blends with the natural forest in Natures Valley. Boasting a lush and natural garden that makes you feel, that you are really hidden away from the world around you. This is a truly a honeymooners paradise! We have 3 different room types from our standard double rooms which have en-suite shower facilities, our superior double rooms which have en-suite bath / shower combo facilities and our luxury honeymoon suite. This boasts a handmade king sized yellowwood bed, large spa bath, double shower, fireplace and private deck. Dining can either be enjoyed indoors in the spacious and open dining area or on the outdoor verandah looking into the top of the canopy trees giving you the feel of being in a tree house. The garden is host to a swimming pool, as well as a private and unique hot pool. A definite must for after dinner!

Some of the most magnificent hiking trails with unrivalled views of sea, forest, waterfalls and lagoon will leave you breathless. Our Salt River trail is a favourite add on to the famous Otter Trail (one we fondly call our "mini otter"). If you are an early riser, you may be lucky enough to spot our resident family of otters on the beach or scrambling over the rocks. Regular bush buck and bush pig sightings in the village will enthrall you and there is always the chance of the elusive leopards that hide out in the forest. Natures Valley is one of the top birding sites for the casual birder or the ardent "twitcher" with sightings of the Knysna Turaco (Lourie), Narina Trogon, Blackheaded Oriole, African Black Oystercatcher and the ever elusive African Finfoot, just to name a few. We guarantee you will notch up one or two unique sightings. For those who love fishing, we have the full range of options from surf and rock, to flying fishing in the lagoon with many different species to challenge the intrepid fisherman. Come join us and explore our piece of paradise in whichever way you fancy, for however long your heart desires.
