LIVING

Both rooms open onto personal viewing decks and are equipped with electric blankets for those chilly winter evenings and an array of amenities from the eco-friendly Healing Earth range. The cosy living area boasts a flat-screen TV, selected DSTV channels, a fireplace and a comfy L-shaped couch. The fully equipped kitchen is perfect for all your self-catering needs with a fridge/freezer, microwave, kettle, and a Nespresso machine to start the morning on the right foot.

Moving outdoors, a built-in braai and a pizza oven are the ultimate spot to spend your evenings, cooking up a storm with your friends or family in true South African fashion. Otherwise, warm up around the fire pit, swapping stories from the day or toasting marshmallows. Our wood-fired hot tub is arguably our most popular feature, and a spectacular spot to watch the sunset or stargaze. During the day, cool off in the sparkling swimming pool, view game from the comfort of the viewing deck.

It is located less than 200km from Cape Town and conveniently halfway to the world-famous Garden Route. Surrounded by undulating hills and mountains, with no other signs of civilization, it feels as though you’re in the deepest “bush” of Africa. The hilly and mountainous topography offers guests incredible vantage points of the 2,300 hectare reserve.

The flora consists mostly of Succulent Karoo, rare and endangered Renosterveld and sections of biodiverse Fynbos in the mountainous areas. Just a few of the mammals that can be found in the reserve include zebra, giraffe, eland, kudu, red hartebeest, bontebok, sable antelope, waterbuck, bushbuck, black-backed jackal and the bat-eared fox.
