The lodge features 7 cabins which each have their own splash pool and BBQ facilities. It offers a seating area, terrace and a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave and an oven. You can enjoy sightings of buck, wildebeest and various bird species from your room.

Super cute lodge, you feel home as soon as you enter, pool surrounded by trees...Feels like holidays as soon as you arrive. Nosipho, who is part of the staff, was very kind and helped us straight away in booking the safaris' experiences for Hluhluhwe-Imfolosi and Isimangaliso parks. Even before we arrived, she advised us on the best road to take (and not to take) and shared the load sheeding schedule. Very few lodges hence it's quiet, and nice to walk around.

    Our stay here was amazing! Michelle was a great host, always there to help us with anything we needed and cooked a great breakfast. She even gave us a lift to town a couple of times as we didn’t have a car. The room was perfect, nice big beds and a small outdoor seating area. The outdoor pool space was lovely too, very luscious with all the trees.
