The lodge holds sixteen suites, six cottages, three family cottages, and one family suite — twenty-three units in total. Every room has a private plunge pool and an outdoor shower on the veranda; the suites and cottages differ mainly in size, and the cottages connect through interleading doors to form family configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bathrooms are designed with reference to Zulu basketware patterns, and the suite interiors are lit through large glass windows. A rim-flow pool follows the line of the hill. There is also a spa, a gym, a yoga deck, and a boma built from stone and reed where dinners are served by candlelight. The dining area includes an interactive kitchen and a pizza oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGame drives run in the early morning and late afternoon, continuing after dark on night drives. Rangers and trackers accompany guided walks, including a specialist big game walk on foot. Phinda runs active conservation programmes — guests can join rhino notching operations, elephant collar changes, and a pangolin reintroduction project that monitors Temminck's ground pangolin using VHF and GSM tracking tags.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSodwana Bay on the Indian Ocean coast is reachable for turtle tracking between November and March, beach outings, and scuba diving on a coral reef that holds more than one thousand two hundred fish species.
