ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Mahelane Lodge accepts cash and VISA cards as payment methods.

The lodge provides full catering. No provision exists for self-catering. Guests are therefore not permitted to bring own food and beverages. No corkage fee is available.

A number of the chalets are situated fairly high on the dune. Guests are advised to please note that the elderly and very young children may find it difficult to access these chalets and therefore to request more suitable chalets when making reservations.

No fires permitted in the lodge grounds or on the beach. On the occasions that beach entertainment is offered on the beach (tribal dancing, bonfires), this will be conducted and controlled by management.

Guests are advised not to arrive later than 19:00 as we are not permitted to cross the lagoon to fetch guests from the parking area after 20h30.
