COUNTRY: Mozambique
AREA: Pomene
Summary
Pomene Lodge is situated on a narrow northern Mozambique peninsula with the Indian Ocean lapping at its front doorstep and crystal clear waters of a spectacular mangrove estuary lapping on the other, it has the best of both worlds. From every accommodation site you are no more than one minute's walk from the white beach sand and the warm Indian Ocean. The lodge is advantageously located in the Pomene Bay offering a sheltered haven for swimming. Here one cannot escape the rhythmic sound of the ocean nor miss seeing perfect sunsets over the estuary.
Catered and self-catering Pomene Lodge is situated in one of the most picturesque spots in Mozambique. It is remote, with a very low local population assuring pristine and unspoilt conditions. Pomene Lodge is 605km north of Maputo and 170km south of Vilanculos.
Gusts can also fly in to Inhambane on the regular schedule flight from O.R.Tambo and then be transferred to Pomene by the Pomene shuttle vehicle which is a 4x4 minibus. This scenic road transfer takes approximately 4 hours.
Accommodation
10 Water Chalets grace the estuary. Sheltered from wind and sea this is the perfect getaway for those looking for a "back to nature" experience.
These rooms are all en-suite with double bed and situated within the tidal zone in the estuary. They are serviced daily but do however not have air-conditioning. Pomene currently runs on generator power and the power supply is turned off in the evenings. Lights are available during the night from a reserve power supply.These rooms are sold on a d/b/b basis. Please bring own swimming towels.
Self-catering chalets: There are 3 chalets available, sleeping 4, 6 and 8.
All our chalets have cutlery, crockery, 2 plate gas cooker, freezer and bedding including mosquito nets on all beds. Each chalet has a separate toilet and shower with hot and cold water. All cleaning materials and swimming towels are to be provided by guests.
The Den: 4 x 1 roomed chalets each with en-suite shower and toilet. Sleeps maximum 2 per room. This cluster of chalets has a communal fully equipped kitchen, suitable for a group of 8 people who are looking for a little more privacy than living together in one chalet.
Barracas & Campsites: The campsites are spacious and have their own ablution block with hot and cold water. In addition to the campsite one may book a barraca which is an open sided thatched area, with plug point, suitable for storage & commonly utilized as an open air eating / living area.
