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 philosophy 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. Durban International Airport is the nearest airport to the hotel and is located 25km away.
