ACCOMMODATION OVERVIEW
We welcome you to Shayamanzi I, situated on Lake Jozini and home to the 5th biggest dam in South Africa and the only dam within RSA to border a Game Reserve. The reserve is host to a wide variety of game including elephant, rhino, buffalo, leopard, hippos and up to 400 bird species. This is a nature lovers paradise!
Shayamanzi I is situated in a port of Northern Kwa-Zulu Natal amongst the Lebombo Mountain rage, surrounded by bushveld, wildlife and a subtropical climate.
The houseboat is a popular destination for holiday makers and avid fisherman, with 27 species of fish including the Tiger Fish – just 3.5 hours from King Shaka International Airport.
The 12 sleeper double pontoon houseboat offers 6 airy en-suite cabins complete with linen, plug points, hairdryers and fans. The large sliding doors enable one to hear the hippos snorting in the nearby bay and at night the opportunity to adore the stars reflecting on the waters edge.
The fully serviced houseboat is equipped with DSTV and a home theatre system with a wide variety of music to enjoy – for the more fun at heart, there is even karaoke! Guest can soak up summer cocktails whilst relaxing in the 8 seater jacuzzi or simply enjoy some peace and quiet on the outdoor chaise loungers.
