En-suite luxury tented accommodation in tents under thatch, on a raised deck. Single or double accommodation available. Look across the bushveld from your bath, or spoil yourself with an outdoor shower under the stars. Sip champagne on your deck as the sun sets on the western horizon. Relax in your own private chalet or join other guests at the lapa.

Dining

As the sun sets, head off for a game drive and sundowner in the bush. The evenings see guests gather around the boma for drinks around the fire rounding off the day with a hearty three course dinner, carefully prepared to satisfy your every need.

On-Site Facilities & Activities

Mountain biking or bush walks amongst the game are a must. A leisurely walk down to the Elands River, bird book and binoculars in hand is a popular activity. As the reserve is home to no dangerous animals you can stroll amongst the game in safety. Relax by the poolside at the comfortable lapa which is equipped with a lounge, bar and dining area.

For those colder winter days, come into the fold of the indoor lounge and dining room and curl up with a book next to the fire or head off to the TV room to watch your favourite DSTV channel.
