What would South Africa be without our spectacular coastline? Simbavati Lodge Collection is excited to announce our brand-new family member, Simbavati Fynbos on Sea. This nine-suite lodge opens in early October with bookings open from October 15.

Simbavati Fynbos on Sea, our new coastal lodge in the Simbavati Collection, could not be better situated to encapsulate this soothing, calming benefit for mind and body.

Being close to any water releases feel-good hormones (as brain imaging shows). This may be because, for our ancient African ancestors, settling close to water would mean life-giving sustenance, essential for survival. We’re hard-wired to think “this is the place for me!”.

If lakes and rivers are good for us, the vast ocean brings additional benefits. Salty sea air really IS good for us, allowing easier breathing and better sleep. The rhythmic sound of the waves slows our brains and relaxes us.

This eco-paradise offers majestic views over the Indian Ocean, beaches, mountains and lagoons. Perched high above the quaint town of Sedgefield in the heart of the Garden Route, it lies within 40ha of natural fynbos and grassland.

Africalm – Amid excitement, surprising peace

Simbavati Fynbos on Sea truly embodies our Africalm concept of “Amid excitement, surprising peace”. It offers a wonderful mix activities and experiences, some exhilarating, some peaceful. From some daring mountain-bike trails to peaceful sunset cruises on the lake. From paragliding off the headland over the Indian Ocean to guided flower drives through the fynbos. In between, there are guided walks, protea farm tours, kayaking and excursions. Regardless of what you choose to do, afterwards you relax in your room, the gardens or by the pool, soaking up the view, and being truly at peace.
