Beautiful gardens combine with exquisite natural scenery to create a haven incorporating spectacular cliffs and gorges, forests, sweeping views, plunging waterfalls and cool pools.
At the top of Robber's Pass on the historic old road to Pilgrim's Rest lies this mountain lodge.
Birdlife is plentiful and wild animals such as zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, antelope and leopard populate the natural reserve.
The lodge architecture compliments nature with facebrick and thatch, bordered by colourful flowerbeds. Facilities abound and cater to the whole family and many activities centre around the great outdoors.
Conveniently situated for easy access to Mpumalanga's attractions, from historic Pilgrim's Rest to the nearby towns of Sabie and Graskop. Nearby too are the spectacular Blyde River Canyon, God's Window escarpment and the interesting rock formations of the Bourke's Luck Potholes. Kruger National Park, home to the Big Five, is an hour's drive away.
