Matola Maritima Lodge is a self-catering lodge on the outskirts of Matola, on the banks of the Matola River near Maputo.

Best for
Matola Maritima Lodge suits road-trippers, anglers and border-crossing travellers who want a self-catering stopover with secure parking for boats or caravans
it suits less well travellers wanting a beachfront or central Maputo city base, given its riverside, outskirts-of-Matola location
Location
The lodge sits on the outskirts of Matola on the Matola River, according to its official website. In a straight line it is about 13.8 km west of our Maputo city centre reference point.
Rooms and style at Matola Maritima Lodge
The lodge’s own website does not break down room categories or a total unit count. A separate directory listing for the property cites 24 units across Standard, Twin, Family and King Size rooms, sleeping up to 48 guests in total, so the exact configuration should be confirmed directly with Matola Maritima Lodge before booking.
Facilities at Matola Maritima Lodge
Verified facilities include air-conditioned rooms, a swimming pool, DSTV and a fridge in each room, braai and self-catering areas, and secure parking for boats and caravans, as stated on the official website.
Trade-offs and what to know
Matola Maritima Lodge is a stopover-style property rather than a beach or city-centre hotel, so it suits transit stays more than sightseeing bases
the operator’s own website is a simple site with limited room-by-room detail, so configurations are worth confirming directly before booking
Getting there and getting around
Matola Maritima Lodge is reached by road from Maputo via Matola, with the official site pitching it as a convenient stopover for travellers heading toward or from the South African border; a private vehicle is the practical way to reach the riverside property.
