Marracuene Lodge Mozambique is situated on the Incomati River and when available hosts offer a complimentary boat trip to Macaneta beach for our guests staying in casas.
We are the FIRST Lodge, only 35kms north of Maputo, on the road north to Xai Xai, Inhambane, Vilanculos, etc. therefore being the most obvious overnight stop for all tourists travelling North & returning South. Most people are bowled over when they see how amazing the lodge is. Kindly note that THERE IS NO CAMPSITE IN MAPUTO TOWN - The 2 bedroom chalets BUILT WITH BRICK & a very high cool thatch roof and they are huge chalets. The bedrooms are very large & the sitting room has a large dinning table with 6 chairs plus 2 large lounging chairs. These 2 large chalets have a kitchen as well, although not fully equipped, they do each have a kettle, mugs [ tea & coffee supplied ] & small fridge. They sleep 6 as standard & can sleep many more with ease because of its size.
Hosts also have 3 small one-bedroom chalets [again, built with brick & a very high cool thatch roof ] that sleep 2 and can sleep 3 if necessary. The small chalets do NOT have kitchens. The 3 small chalets also have a kettle, mugs [ tea & coffee supplied ].
All chalets have hot water by 'donkey boiler'. There is a fully functional restaurant & fully stocked bar with a small shop for the convenience of our local & camping guests. A medium sized sparkling clean swimming pool is well used by our guest as they love it. The lodge is situated 4.5kms off the main road and only 2kms of this road requires a 4x4. For the real 4x4 enthusiasts there is the Costa do Sol road from Maputo right to the lodge, which is great fun for 4x4 vehicles, motorbikes & quad bikes alike.
Hosts pride themselves on 2 forests namely: DWARF FOREST & FAIRY / ANGEL FOREST, which are unique and you have to see them to believe how unusual & exceptional they are. Hosts cater for a large amount of fishermen due to the low launch fee’s and easy launch site which is only 10kms from the river mouth.
