Looking for a lodge?

Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.

    The Lodge was perfect for our one night stay - a clean and stylish ocean-facing room with relaxing outdoor loungers, professional and friendly service - and the very well prepared breakfast was a standout. I wish we had stayed longer and I would highly-recommend.

    This was an excellent experience staying on the farm in a safari-like tent and taking a hot tube under the starry sky. The Tent's are very large, house-like equipped with kitchen, shower airco etc.. and very far from each other giving lot's of privacy. The staff on the reception is very friendly and helpful.

    The location was very good, right by the river. It was very private. We were able to sit outside our lodge and enjoy the view, river and wildlife. A perfect sanctuary. The breakfast was good, more than adequate.

    The location and views are beautiful, and the owners dealt with us directly and were very friendly and quite helpful with sight seeing and activities. They were more than willing to assist us to help book various activities during the busy season. The lodge is quite a drive from town which we did not expect but found it was a great getaway destination.
