Overlooking a unique botanical garden, the five star Makaranga Hotel guest lodge has been designed to blend in with, rather than impose upon, the natural surroundings.

The spacious lodge with hand painted murals, plush carpets, original art, an elegant dining room and cocktail bar, library, and a classically furnished lounge, which is complete with a grand piano, creates an atmosphere of intimacy and elegance.

The 21 individually designed and air-conditioned suites, each open onto a private verandah from which the true beauty of Makaranga Garden Lodge can be appreciated. 

Full facilities are available for those who are mobility impaired. Makaranga's philosophy revolves around providing an opportunity for enjoyment as well as rejuvenation to those people who have a physical disability.

The gardens comprise a riverine dominated by magnificent Macaranga trees, a prized collection of Camellias, Rhododendrons, Magnolias and a variety of Orchids, as well as an array of indigenous plant life.
