CATALINA LODGE within the Daghatane Beach Estate, is situated on the beautiful sand dunes of Mozambique's coastline, between the bays of Paindane and Guinjata. Here, tranquility, relaxation and luxury come together to give you a beach destination not soon to be forgotten. A luxury lodge set exquisitely on high sand dunes, with sea views 180 degrees to the east, and splendid palm trees and coastal.
An amazing lodge in a beautiful setting - very comfortable bedrooms and a well equipped living area, with 360 views - whales, beach, dunes, sunrise and sunsets. Staff were fantastic. Easy access to beach and great snorkelling on the reef, and shop and restaurants nearby. We will be back!

I loved being able to view the ocean from every room including the shower (yes - see pictures). The lodges are tastefully furnished each with spectacular view of the ocean and enough distance between each lodge to allow for privacy and community. We were 7 and enjoyed private space in our lodges and time together around the pool, lounge and outdoor spaces. Be sure to bring binoculors to be able to watch whales and dolphins from the lounge! With the city far away, this is a true gate-away from the noise and bustle associated with city and tourist areas. With the ocean in front and hills and open spaces around, this place is ideal for rest, renewal and enjoyment of beach and nature. One can travel either by air (better option especially for short holiday) or public transport. From Johannesburg, South Africa we travelled by InterCape bus to Maputo,slept overnight at a holiday apartment then early in the morning at 05:00 am caught local bus Ertego to Inhambane arrived just before 13:00. I would recommend bus if you have plenty of time and want to experience local life but if you want to go straight to Inhambane - flight is better. The lodges are serviced daily which is great! The staff is exceptionally helpful and rich source of knowledge. The lodges are self catering and there is a grocery store nearby which can be accessed with the help of staff and they can also help source fresh sea-food and a chef to prepare the food at reasonable prices. There is also a market in Inhambane where fresh vegetables can be bought. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, cutlery, pots etc as well as fridges and stoves - it is spacious with a dining area! Think of it as home away from home and plan meals or organize chef! If you need visa the manager is able to supply documents needed and there is a Mozambican visa office in Rosebank, Johannesburg. It is better to obtain visa before travelling. This is a place to sit back, soak in the beauty, enjoy - just plan meals and don't stress over anything as the staff are exceptionally helpful!…

Naturally a little biased as to this fantastic place, but still I just love it. Endless views, peace and quiet, nothing but breaching humpback whales and endless white sandy beaches. Pop down to the local restaurants at Jeffs or Sante Fe, or stay home and grill som fresh fish on the braai. The kids love it, we love and its a highlight of our year, every year. Already counting down to heading back.

Em 2011 esta viagem marcou muito a minha vida, na passagem por Moçambique fiquei com a família um total de 5 noites neste maravilhoso lugar... Mesmo com uma tempestade tropical pelo meio, não deixa-mos de ficar deslumbrados com todo o ambiente que se vivia!! Desde os locais aos turistas ( maioritariamente Sul Africanos) tudo muito simpático. Recomendo !!
