Rocktail Beach Camp is set back in and shaded by the sanctuary of the lush Maputaland Coastal Forest covering the ancient dunes that make up the edge of South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal coast. The Maputaland Marine Reserve is just offshore and Rocktail only a brisk 20 minute walk from the beach.
Each of Rocktail Beach Camp’s 17 rooms has an en-suite bathroom and an open-feel indoor shower. Seven of the rooms are family units with two bedrooms and a shared bathroom accommodating two adults and two children each. The honeymoon unit has wonderful views over the ocean and dune forest. The main area boasts a central dining room, bar and lounge with large wrap-around veranda, a raised viewing deck, wine cellar, large pool, curio shop and children's playroom.
Rocktail offers an array of activities. On the half board rate all guided activities are at additional cost, however the full board rate includes forest & guided beach walks, snorkelling at Lala Nek, excursions to Lake Sibaya and nature drives. Activities at an additional cost on all rate types are diving, excursions to black rock (must be booked in advance), turtle research drives (mid-October to mid-March), Tembe Elephant Park excursion, sangoma visits, zulu dancing, quad biking and stargazing. The reef systems are prolific with soft and hard corals, and abundant fish species, including the iconic whale shark and ragged-tooth, dolphins and of course turtles. Parents can relax on the beach and send their kids exploring on the rocks with their guide.
