Scarborough Nature Lodge

$ | 80 Mountain Rise Rd., Scarborough, South Africa

Nature lovers will rejoice when they set eyes on these wooden cabins and cottages that provide the ultimate sense of indoor-outdoor living while affording gorgeous views over Scarborough and out to sea. As the name implies, you are steeped in nature, between tangled branches and tall trees towering overhead, and the spaces themselves are wonderfully in keeping with the spirit of the enfolding surrounds. The cabins have everything you need (kitchen, lounging areas, deck spaces from which to soak up the views, pretty bedrooms), but not so much that you're pulled out of the fantasy of being in a verdant wonderland surrounded by the very thing you ultimately came to the peninsula to experience: nature.

Pros

  • Precisely the kind of place you expect in such a nature-steeped environment
  • Far from the maddening crowd
  • Perfect for independent travelers looking for solitude

Cons

  • You may wish you were a bit closer to the beach (although it's just a short walk through the village)
  • Don't expect extensive luxuries or amenities like a pool or hot tub
  • No on-site staff, although assistance is always a phone call away
