Why stay here

The luxury of space and sea

Thonga sits directly behind Mabibi beach inside iSimangaliso Wetland Park. It's deliberately small. The rooms disappear into the forest, and the day moves between three dining areas, the beach deck, two pools, the marine centre and the Indian Ocean in front of it all.
