Accommodation is provided in character-filled wooden cottages, each designed with warmth and simplicity. The rooms are comfortable and inviting, featuring en-suite bathrooms, cozy beds with mosquito nets, and private verandas overlooking the gardens perfect for relaxing after a day on safari.

Guests can enjoy the lodge’s swimming pool, ideal for cooling off, as well as a welcoming bar and restaurant serving a variety of local and international dishes. The friendly atmosphere and attentive service make it a favorite among travelers looking for comfort without formality.

With its combination of peaceful surroundings, convenient location, and homely charm, Octagon Lodge is an excellent base for exploring the northern safari circuit while enjoying a calm and restful stay in Karatu.
