Situated on the banks of the St. Lucia Estuary near the Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park and Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve, this idyllic luxury lodge is your gateway to the unspoiled beaches of the Elephant Coast.
Consisting of 20 luxury air conditioned suites on either a self catering or bed & breakfast basis, Hippo Hideaway is a luxury ethnic retreat like no other.
So join us for sundowners under our thatched boma, and you’ll see why we say the best sunsets always come from Africa.
The lodge comprises 20 luxury air conditioned rooms each with its own fully self contained kitchen. Breakfasts are an optional extra and can be specified when making your reservation. Flatscreen TVs in all rooms give access to DSTV for those rare days of rain in the area.
There are 7 two sleeper units, 12 four sleeper units and 1 honeymoon suite.
The central thatched Boma which faces out over the swimming pool is the ideal area to either relax in the hammocks or sit in the shade to adjust to the relaxing pace of Zululand.
In the evenings each lodge has its own braai and life does not get much better than gazing out over the bank of the estuary whilst the braai crackles in the background.
