Opened in October 2007, this lodge will welcome local guests, families and friends the world over. The Lodge encapsulates both the warm, personal ambience associated with a family owned lodge and a world class luxury safari experience.
The lodge’s large windows, sliding doors and muted colour mirror the surrounding landscape and create a seamless, indoor-outdoor flow. Timber, thatch and screed flooring add earthy charm to the interior, where the décor is classic-contemporary. Take the lounge, for instance, with its natural fibres, oversized chairs and open fireplace that together create a haven for relaxation. The kitchn is ideal as it opens onto a dining area that’s equally suited to informal family meals or a banquet affair. All of these public areas open onto a large, wraparound wooden deck and 13.5m (15 yard) lap-size swimming pool.
Room Amenities:
Nestling on the banks of the Sabie River, the lodge represents a secluded environment where comfort and relaxation is the order of the day. There are four spacious suites, each with their own private view of the Sabie River. The bathrooms are just as inviting, courtesy of their double vanity units, elegant bath and outdoor showers. There is also a children’s dormitory, able to sleep up to 8 children, with his and hers bathrooms and an interleading bedroom for an au-pair.
If this sounds like your dream home, that’s exactly what the lodge strives to be: a gracious home away from home – with a few added luxuries, including your own private chef and ranger, with the exclusive use of a 4x4 Landrover for safari game drives.
What really sets this lodge apart from other safari lodges is its prime setting on the canopied banks of the Sabie River.
