Barra Estates, Inhambane

Price From:	R320.00
Destination:	Inhambane

Barra Estates consists of two separate Lodges, known as Barra Inn and Barra Resort, situated next to each other.

Barra Inn has a 6 sleeper, a 4 sleeper and two 2 sleeper chalets, sleeping 14 people and Barra Resort two of each, sleeping 24 people. The 6 sleeper units consist of three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the four sleepers two bedrooms and a bathroom and the 2 sleepers one bedroom & bathroom.

The 6 and 4 sleeper units have a double bed in the main bedroom (King size) and all the other rooms have sigle beds. We do not believe in cheap quality mattresses and they are all 20cm. high density foam ones, ensuring a good night's rest. The bathrooms consist of shower, wash basin and toilet.

Both Lodges have electricity with electric geysers, so you would always have warm water (not that this is necessary in summer).
All the beds have mattress covers, a fitted sheet, top sheet and a cotton throw and two pillows. Fleecy blankets are supplied for cooler nights. And they are obviously fitted with mosquito nets as well - not the stupid types which tuck in underneath the mattress, but nice large ones hanging from the roof to the floor, allowing ample moving space in and around the beds.

Each chalet is a self-catering unit and has a kitchenette with gas stove (2 sleeper units have a two plate gas stove) and fridge. The kitchens are well equiped with new and modern utensils of a high quality.
All units have large windows overlooking the sea and allowing good ventilation in the hot summer months. Each unit has a covered wooden deck where you can enjoy your meals, have a tan or sip your sundowner.

At Barra Inn, the two 2 sleeper units are situated on level ground next to the entertainment area, with the 6 and 4 sleeper units built on stilts on the back dune, allowing a magnificent elevated view of the sea. At Barra Resort one 6 sleeper, one 4 sleeper and one 2 sleeper unit is situated on level ground next to the entertaimnet area, and the other three units also on stilts on the back dune.

Each Lodge has a large communal entertainment area, consisting of a fully equipped large kitchen, dining room, bar, washing area and ladies/gents toilets with wash basins. And of course a lovely covered wooden deck where you would enjoy your meals most of the time. This is ideal for large groups who prefer to mingle and eat together. The entertainment areas are equipped with a fridge and freezer as well as a chest freezer for additional meat etc.

There is also a large communal braai area - please note that NO braaing would be allowed outside this area and NO gas braais are allowed. This is merely to minimise the risk of fire, which is our greatest risk here.

All units are serviced daily - cleaning, making of beds and washing of dishes. Clothes are washed by hand and our servants would be quite happy to do your washing (no ironing) for you at a pre-determined fee.

Area Attractions

If you love the outdoors & action, there are an abundance of activities:
Deep sea fishing: You may charter a fishing trip with the following qualified charters:

Baloo Charters: Gert Cronje
Mafutha Charters: Nick van Huyssteen
Sail-A-Vie: Jannie Moolman

You may also bring along your own boat. Please note that it should be seaworthy - they are checked by the authorities on a regular basis. Ensure that your safety equipment is functional. Lately, you would also need a fishing license - regular checks are carried out by Department

Fisheries on the Beach where boats are launched, so make sure you obtain this beforehand to prevent aggravation and fines. These can be obtained in Inhambane. At Barra, you would have to pay a launching fee which is a once-off fee, valid for 30 days.

Diving / snorkeling: There are an abundance of reefs at Barra and neighboring Tofo. If you have a rubber duck, bring it along for this purpose. The sea is placid enough for rubber ducks most of the year. Barra Reef Divers, Barra Lodge Divers and Sunset Lodge Divers offer diving courses and daily excursions.

Wet-biking / Jetski-ing: An absolute paradise for this sport. With a placid sea you can play all day long. Or go to to White Sands and play on the lake. There you can race to Pansy Island where an abundance of the Pansy shells can be found. Please do not abuse this, and only take a few, so that there would be enough left for generations to come.

Quad biking: Only allowed when used responsibly - this past time has created a menace for holiday makers due to the constant irresponsibility and ignorance of many riders.
