Johannesburg to the less crowded yet spectacular western bushveld area before visiting the tropical north and then the Kruger Park in the east. The Lodge offers a relaxed and quiet unspoilt African bushveld environment with six en suite luxurious rooms. Each room has a veranda that overlooks the landscaped garden and fountains. It is an ideal “restful countryside breakaway” for those wanting to escape the stresses of work to just spend a few days relaxing in the beautiful surroundings of the lodge while reading, painting or drawing. Week days are particularly quiet and guests often find themselves being the only visitors during this time. The lodge is also often used for “strategy breakaway sessions” by small companies. During the day they run their strategy sessions in the garden under the trees and at night they can continue in the comfort of the lodge. Traditional South African Cuisine and wine is offered in the sociable dinning room and picnic lunches are available on request.
