All rooms have en-suite bathrooms, plush four-poster or twin beds with mosquito nets, and private verandahs with beautiful views onto the lodge gardens, the Addo Elephant National Park in the distance and the mountains beyond.
Our beautifully stylish luxury suites comprise of a large bedroom and bathroom separated by a private lounge. These suites have been positioned on the edge of a gorge which falls away in the front to valleys of the Addo Elephant National Park 200 meters below.
When one considers the prime positioning of these suites, it would seem incomprehensible not to have huge stack-away doors and a balcony wrapping around them, boasting exquisite views of what literally can be called the heavens and the earth below (luckily our suites have just this).
The decoration, in keeping with the lodge, is rooted in the Colonial Safari era, transporting you to a traditional Safari Lodge in deep, dark Africa, all the while never leaving the luxurious comfort of your suite in the Eastern Cape.
Our family suite was built by our lodge’s owners to accommodate their families and other guests travelling with children in the Eastern Cape. The suite consists of a master bedroom and en-suite as well as 2 smaller rooms with a separate bathroom.
Put your feet up and relax in a spacious living room or enjoy a dip in the private pool on the property. As with the rest of our lodge, this suite is adorned in a warm, inviting fashion reminiscent of the Colonial era Safari Lodges, with all the luxurious accommodation comforts you would expect.
