THE LODGE
Built from local materials and floor to ceiling glass windows, the lodge boasts spectacular views over the Karoo and surrounding mountains.
SLEEPING
The beds are supplied with duvets and pillows so you only need to carry sheets and pillow slips. Stone Lodge sleeps seven in five singles and one double bed. The double bed is located on the lower level in its own private room with an adjacent bathroom. The other beds are situated on raised “annexes” off the main lodge living area. Both bathrooms have showers with views of the surrounding peaks and Karoo.
LIVING
An indoor log-fireplace heats up the open plan living, dining, sleeping and kitchen areas. The fully equipped kitchen has no oven but there is a 2 plate gas hob and a 12V camping fridge. There is a small 220V inverter, suitable for charging devices. Electric lights are available. Outdoors is a large wooden deck with a private horizon plunge pool.
THE AREA
Situated in the picturesque Eastern Cape and sharing two borders with the Groendal Wilderness Area, Kleinrivier Wilderness offers you the ideal opportunity to escape the pressures of city life in a pristine mountain environment.
Spend your days exploring the many trails that lead you through picturesque gorges dotted with ancient cycads. Swim in icy mountain pools or simply relax on the luxurious couch in front of a roaring log fire.
