The lodges offer 6 Luxury Suites and 2 Royal Suites with 2 bedrooms. In addition, Africa House is an exclusive-use bush villa with 6 bedrooms. The décor throughout is classic, brimming with old-world elegance but adorned with Liz Biden’s signature playful touches and splashes of colour.  The pinnacle of refinement and opulence, the rooms all have unparalleled views over the surrounding bushveld as well as private pools and gazebos.

Dining at the lodge is completely flexible. Whether you feel like a light salad by the pool in the privacy of your Suite or a decadent 6-course dinner paired with fine wines, the dining team will ensure that you are carefully looked after.

We are proud to say that this property is affiliated with the International LGBTQ+ Travel Association (IGLTA) and welcomes members of the LGBTQ+ community.
