La Rochelle

This resort offers the natural beauty of white sandy beaches, lush bush, wild life at the lakes and in the game areas and big-game fishing out on the deep sea. In the village there are restaurants, banks, shops, two hotels, curio shops with Zulu craftwork and gifts, discos in season, putt-putt, bikes for hire and a huge waterslide. The Natal Parks Board conducts daily launch tours into the estuary's upper reaches where you can spot the fish eagle and sea crocodiles basking on the water's edge. Or follow nature walks and hiking trails.
