Reviews
Unique is a simple word but this describes our stay here. The lodge is a piece of art, from the metal adornments in the garden, made by the owner himself, to his friendly wife and capable staff and the 5 star dinner. Everything is fresh, not a tin in sight! There is a nice pool to cool off in. The lodge is a museum in itself, with a "kapkar" and an "ossewa", and lots of farm memorabilia. Everything is spotless and well looked after. Our campsite had a shower in a tree! Not against a tree, IN a tree. The campsite had its own kitchen basin and bathroom basin. There is also a separate shower and toilet, as well as a toilet looking out to the mountains. The water for the bathroom is heated by a "donkey" that a staff member stokes. The silence is wonderful and the stars near enough to touch. Will definitely visit again!
