Makuti Lodge - Hout Bay

Makuti Lodge is set high up on the Southern slopes of the back of the Table Mountain range (below Myburg's corner/buttress). The cool Southern slope and shady trees offer respite from the peak summer heat and allow for a dense growth of the indigenous Protea family (Protea sugarbushes, leucospermums and leucodendrons), good protection for the Iridaceae and erica families, and a natural environment for the last of 3 remaining afromontane forests in Hout Bay. The Myburg waterfall ravine walk above us is on the western border of the large Oranje Kloof mountain reserve and is a fine example of the afromontane forest.
