Robinson Crusoe Hideaway

Thonga captures the essence of a charming rustic Robinson Crusoe hideaway with individual air-conditioned chalets tucked away in the coastal dune forest, raised on wooden stilts to ensure minimal impact with maximum comfort. Bleached wood, glass and natural materials create an open, airy feel, and each room has a deck, some with sea views. 

The Lodge exudes a relaxed and friendly ambience with good food. Superb snorkelling within strolling distance of the Lodge in the clear warm waters of the Indian Ocean. With over 1250 fish species scuba diving is phenomenal and the dive boat launches directly from Thonga’s beach with instructors to assist divers of all levels. 

Glorious Sundowners

Enjoy the Open Ocean Experience, spotting shoals of game fish, schools of bottlenose dolphins with whale sharks and turtles in the summer; and Humpback whales in the winter. Morning guided kayaking trips or glorious sundowners nearby on the shores of Lake Sibaya. 

November to February, witness the rare sight of turtles laying their eggs or hatchlings returning to the ocean.
