Flamingo Lodge

Our B & B Facilities

Flamingo Lodge has recently upgraded their facilities with the objective of making the lodge more attractive and comfortable for all their guests. The bedrooms have been re-decorated and all carpets have been replaced with tiles in keeping with our sea-side proximity. The bathrooms have all been fully renovated and modernized by installing brand new shower doors. All the beds have been replaced with modern beds that can be easily converted from 2 single beds to a King size double bed.

All rooms are equipped with 32” HD LCD Flat screen Televisions. DSTV (Satellite Television) with individual controls have been installed in each room. Wireless Internet facilities are now available at no extra charge to all guests (providing they have their own wireless internet capable computer) in each room. You can also enjoy our honesty bar located on the balcony off the guest lounge.

An Internet Café is now operational in our lounge with free downloads from digital cameras to disk, as well as internet facilities (at a nominal fee) for those guests who do not have wireless internet capable computers.

All bedrooms’ balconies have been renovated with new furniture and fencing to create a private retreat. There is air conditioning in each room with its own remote control, so that guests can regulate the room temperature. Tea and coffee making facilities are standard in all rooms.

The upgrading of the lodge is a continuing exercise where our objective is to provide the very best facilities that International visitors should expect when visiting a premier resort (which Umhlanga most certainly is) in a country which has so much to offer it’s visitors (which South Africa certainly has). Flamingo Lodge offer 7 quality rooms with private balconies, as well as 1 Self Catering Suite.

Each of the tastefully decorated bedrooms all has their own en suite bathrooms/showers, as well as their own private patios. All rooms are equipped with 32” HD LCD Flat screen Televisions with satellite Television, Safes, Tea/Coffee making facilities and individually controlled Air-cons and fans.

A full English Breakfast is served outside on our balcony with great views of the sea.
