“I spent a week with my son and did a PADI Open Water dive course with them and I must say the beaches were stunning, the PADI course was exceptional, as was the diving. The staff were very friendly, the accommodation and food were top class and there were plenty of activities!” notes a very happy Alan from Maputo, Mozambique.
Another satisfied guest, Poppy, from the UK, wrote: “Each spacious lodge has a fantastic view – the sunsets are unbelievable. The manager and his team do everything to make your stay comfortable. The delightful dinners make the best of fresh local ingredients. We recommend the snorkelling trip (beach picnic included) and kayaking through the mangroves. Or just enjoy the walking along the beautiful beach.”

Rebecca from KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, booked a family escape at Machangulo and had this to say:
“Machangulo beach lodge is simply spectacular. Every location, from your log cabin, the pool, two bars, sunset viewing deck, and the restaurant has a sea view. The food is incredible: fresh fish or prawns are on option at every meal. There are kayaks, SUP boards, goggles, snorkels, wetsuits and flippers available for use at no charge. And no shortage of activities and day outings: deep sea fishing, snorkelling, hikes, kayaking, to name a few. We highly recommend the snorkelling picnic excursion to nearby Inhaca Island. What makes the lodge so special are the friendly, hard-working staff who tirelessly attend to your every need. Thank you to the most wonderful team at Machangulo!! We will definitely be back.”
What more is there to say? The location of this splendid beach lodge makes it so worthwhile – close to the capital city of Maputo but far from the madding crowds, in nature. Find it peeping out from a grove of gorgeous dune trees where all kinds of bird’s flit and call. Wander far down the beach to the lighthouse and watch the tide come in. Set off to the mangroves on an epic nature excursion on your own kayak, up and down the estuaries and bays, out to the exotic coral reefs. Beach your kayak and enjoy a stroll on shore with a fresh fruit picnic. Maybe you will see the dolphins and turtles on your paddling trip?
Sums up Hayley Arthur in this comment:
“We stayed at Machangulo Beach lodge for 8 nights and it was an unbelievable holiday! This little spot is perfect in every way. The beach is remote and very quiet. Walk 100m around the point and you will have a 2km stretch of beach to yourself. Swimming in front of the lodge was perfect for our 3 small kids, but this is tide dependent and for us worked out very well. Snorkelling in front of the lodge is also great and there are some beautiful fish just email off from the beach, but better snorkelling is at the marine reserve room across on Inhaca Island. Kayaks,sups and snorkelling gear are available for use, and we loved paddling up and down the stretch of coast in front of the lodge. The lodge is beautiful.”
