What a place! The location "Nature Valley" makes you expecting something special and Tranquility Lodge will meet your expectation.
Spacious, clean rooms, a very friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast and an overwhelming surrounding - all of the best.
What a lovely cosy and intimate lodge, as the name says - tranquillity - at its best
An amazing stay. Enjoyed the breakfasts. Service was great. The stay there made our honeymoon extra special. In general the decor is pretty and romantic. Loved that it is situated a minute from the beach.
