The lodge provides guests with a terrace, mountain views, a seating area, satellite flat-screen TV, a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge and a dishwasher, and a private bathroom with shower and free toiletries. Some units feature a balcony and/or a patio with river views. Absolutely stunning accommodation and the farm. Not cheap but definitely worth it. Fully self-catered, but very well thought-of and taken care of to the very little detail. All the extras such as beer or wine or extra wood are available in the house or from the farm shop. Rooms are beautiful and beds are super comfortable. Pre-ordered meal boxes are very carefully packed and it’s a real pleasure unpacking them and cooking. Morning safari is done by the host who is very friendly and welcoming. Rhinos and all the animals are there and can’t be missed, kids and adults had such a lot of fun and great time during the whole stay. Definitely highly recommended to all who values good balance of nature and true comfort.
