Private Braai Facilities in Every Unit at Ingwenya Lodge

Why Private Braai Facilities Matter to Guests

Most people choose a self catering stay because they want control. Cooking in your own space, on your own time, makes the holiday feel easy. Having a private braai takes that one step further.

Privacy and exclusivity

You don’t have to share with strangers or wait your turn. It is your fire, your food, and your group.

No queues, no sharing

Unlike shared braai spots, your unit has a braai that belongs only to you. That means no waiting for space or rushing through a meal.

Time to switch off

A private braai area gives you quiet moments. You can sit back, listen to the bush sounds, waves crushing on the beach, and cook without interruption.

Convenience and comfort

The braai is right outside your unit. You can prep inside, walk a few steps, and stay part of the conversation while the food cooks.

Easy flow from kitchen to fire

You don’t need to carry food across the lodge or leave your group. Everything stays close, and that makes meals simple.

Stay connected while cooking

No one has to stand alone by the fire. The braai is part of your living space, so you can still talk, laugh, and share a drink.

Family friendly

Parents can relax knowing the kids are safe in the garden or on the deck while the fire burns nearby. No need to split your attention.

Safe spaces for children

Most units are fenced or set up so children can play while adults cook. You can see them without leaving the braai.

Shared memories

The best family stories often happen around the fire. Kids roast marshmallows, parents share a drink, and everyone ends the day together.

That’s why guests keep searching for accommodation with private braai in St Lucia. It’s not just about cooking — it’s about the peace that comes with having your own space.

Ingwenya’s Braai Setup by Unit

Every unit at Ingwenya Lodge comes with its own private braai. Each setup is a little different, but they all give you the same thing — your own space to cook and relax.

Nyalazi – built in braai in the garden

This quiet five sleeper has a big fenced garden with tall trees. The built in braai sits under the shade, perfect if you want peace and privacy while the fire burns.

Mkuze – private outdoor braai off the lounge

A four sleeper with a fenced yard. The braai is just outside the lounge, so you can cook while still part of the conversation inside.

Mfolozi – veranda braai with views

This seven sleeper is made for longer stays. The braai sits next to the veranda and looks out over the ocean, forest and garden. Easy to keep an eye on the kids while you cook.

Mpate – private boma braai

A light and intimate unit with a built in braai inside its own fenced boma. Great if you want a tucked away spot that feels secure and private.

Mzinene – lounge side braai with views

This four sleeper has a braai just off the lounge. Like Mfolozi, it also overlooks the ocean, forest and garden — handy for families with children running around.

Hluhluwe – deck braai with sea views

An open plan four sleeper on the first floor. The portable braai sits on a big wooden deck with seating. It’s all about the best views in St Lucia and meals together outdoors.

At Ingwenya Lodge you don’t choose between convenience and privacy. Each self catering unit has its own braai built in, right where you need it.
