A mere 20-minute flight or road transfer of 1 hour 20 minutes from Port Elizabeth, and only 1 hour's flying time from Plettenberg Bay, the lodge is readily accessible no matter what your preferred means of travel. The added convenience of the 1200 m airstrip makes it possible for guests to fly in with family, friends or colleagues directly to the lodge.
The tented camp is perfectly designed to blend discreetly into its surrounding valley and bushveld environment; the remarkably spacious, sophisticated suites, some nestled in the yellowwood forest and other set on a hillside offering extraordinary views, are elevated on wooden decks each with outdoor spa bath.
Luxuriously decorated to evoke Hemingway's Africa of yesteryear, this is just the place to relax and re-energise against the tranquil backdrop of the African bush where giraffe, zebra, wildebeest and eland browse and graze at your doorstep.
All meals of the day can be enjoyed at the open-sided restaurant, which incorporates a bar area and open-air boma, all overlooking the elephants' much loved waterhole.
