Indaba Lodge Hotel Richards Bay

10/10 Excellent

"The place was clean but looks a bit run down or rather not properly looked after. Here and there you spot doors, aircons etc"

Woodpecker Inn

8/10 Good

"We only stayed 1 night. But, the food was terrific. The staff from the front to the bar and restaurant were terrific and engaging. Quick shout out to Jocelyn (spelling i hope is correct) from the restaurant, for the laughs!!! Our room was quaint and comfortable. We also had a convenient shuttle pickup from Richards Bay airport. If I came back, I would definitely stay here again."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Ntambanana?

The best area to stay in Ntambanana is generally around the town centre or in the slightly more rural, tranquil outskirts that offer a connection to nature.For those looking for convenience and a central base, staying near the town centre provides easier access to local amenities and the main transport routes. While Ntambanana isn't a large urban hub, the central area offers practical lodging options and a starting point for exploring the wider region.Couples or those seeking a peaceful, nature-focused retreat might prefer accommodation slightly outside the immediate town centre, closer to the natural landscapes. This allows for a more relaxed experience, often with opportunities for wildlife viewing, birdwatching, or simply enjoying the serene surroundings of KwaZulu-Natal.

When is the best time to go to Ntambanana?

The best time to visit Ntambanana is during the dry winter months, from May to September.During this period, the weather is generally mild and pleasant, with less rainfall and clearer skies. This makes it ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the region and enjoying outdoor activities comfortably.For travellers interested in wildlife viewing, these months are particularly good. The sparse vegetation and reduced water sources mean animals are easier to spot as they gather around remaining waterholes. This increases the chances of seeing local wildlife.Couples looking for a peaceful and scenic escape will find the cooler, drier weather great for enjoying the tranquil surroundings and taking leisurely walks.
