Between the main facility and the rooms is a large sparkling swimming pool to cool off on a hot summer's day. You can relax around the pool and enjoy service from the kitchen and bar.
The Palm Dune Beach Lodge is situated between two estuaries, which provide a beautiful protected bay from where Dolphin and Whale watching excursions are launched. The southern estuary is a heritage site of significant conservation importance, being a breeding place for the rare Redwinged Pratincole.
There is excellent fishing at Africa hotels, both from the shore as well as deep sea. Jet-ski fishing was born here, where the protected bay allows for easy launching (recognised launch site) and access. There is also a designated beach area for jet skiing.
