Fabulous luxury tents with large en suite. Beautiful forest and perfect beach. Communal lounge and dining area offers a wonderfully equipped kitchen with great views. The boardwalks are a huge help but after a weeks stay the many stairs could become a slight challenge!
This is the second stay at Tartaruga and I rate it as the best place in Malongane. The facilities are well maintained and the staff attentive and caring. The views and setting are excellent.
The most amazing place. So well run with such friendly staff! Herman the manager attended to our every need always with a smile on his face. We cannot wait to get back there!
We found your place excellent value for money. Quite and private, lovely beach. Very pleasant staff especially Moses. Your accommodation was superb. We loved every minute of our stay with you. Please add me onto your mailing list rinadupreez@telkomsa.net for future news and investment opportunities.
What a pleasant stay!!!! The accommodation, facilities and service was realy superb. The effort to please the client amazed me, will definately in future stay there again.
Tartaruga is definitely a gem where one can relax and enjoy the solitude and beautiful surroundings. The concept of self catering worked extremely well. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the facilities were great. One negative was that we did not see the manager at all and there was evidence of neglect as far as small details were concerned. These details take litle effort but could spoil what is a potentially a 5 star experience.
Great place to visit and friendly staff. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back.
Our time at Tartaruga was most enjoyable,relaxing.Exactly what we all needed.

The beach is awesome. The people are so friendly.
Nice main beach and some nice restaurants.
I loved the clean beaches and large choice of seafood available.
Lovely beach and restaurants in Ponta do Ouro.
Everything, the place is right next to the beach, bar and not far from market.
Terrific Beach
The new tar road will definitely boost tourism in the area. This is an awesome experience for any first time traveler to Mozambique.
