Protea Hotel Makaranga Garden Lodge, 25 km from Durban, is set amongst 30 acres of lush botanical gardens in the sub-tropical village of Kloof in Kwazulu-Natal. Makaranga`s philosphy revolves around providing an opportunity for enjoyment as well as rejuvenation to those people who have a physical disability. The feeling behind this is that many wheel-chair users are restricted and Makaranga is one of the few resorts in the world that provides disabled GUESTS an opportunity to enjoy luxurious facilities. 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. Accommodation is en-suite, individually furnished and extremely spacious. Dining is an occasion at Makaranga, with three meals served daily, while the Tuscan Tea Garden offers breakfast and refreshments overlooking the Venus Pond.
