Affordable Luxury Lodge Accommodation

Affordable Luxury Lodge Accommodation That Offers Surprising Value

Affordable luxury lodge accommodation is not all about the rate you are paying, because the extent of the full package deal, the items that are included in the rate and the location of the lodge all play a role to determine how much you are going to end up spending. Relatively low rates may be offset by a lot of time and fuel spent travelling to a remote destination, somewhat defeating the affordability aim. Low rates may also be skewed by excluding almost all activities and services as “extras” and these will cost, well, extra.

Almost Everything is Included

We regard our accommodation as truly affordable luxury lodge accommodation, because we believe that you should be able to enjoy your stay with us even if you do not want to pay for any extra services and activities. As such, the following are all standard and included in your rate:

VAT and your Conservation Fee
Your 5-star accommodation
Your fruit plate and welcome drink upon arrival
Early morning coffee and tea
Full breakfast
A five-course Table D'hôte dinner
Canapés in the afternoon
Two daily game drives
Use of the lodge swimming pool
Game and bird watching

As it stands, the included items mean that we really do offer extremely affordable luxury lodge accommodation in real terms and you really can have a great vacation and enjoy yourself immensely on our lodge without spending any more money. However, should you wish to make use of any of the optional activities and services, we offer you a wide choice too; extras include:

Transfers to and from the lodge (including private charter collections and drop-offs)
Telephone and mini bar costs
Valet and laundry services
Spa treatments in the comfort of your room
Silhouette shooting
Croquet
Guided walking tours, led by an experienced trails guide

Favourable Location

Another way we offer eminently affordable luxury lodge accommodation is through our convenient location, just 150 km from both Pretoria and Polokwane and 200 km from Johannesburg.

Travel costs make out a significant part of vacation expenses and the fact that we are not hours away helps keep costs down – the added advantage being that we are not too far north and subsequently in a malaria-free area.

Modimolle is also only 40 km from our lodge and it has its own airfield.

The Accommodation Facilities

The sound value continues with our affordable luxury lodge accommodation suites and at the main lodge, you can choose between the Cheetah, Rhino and Elephant rooms. The former two are queen-size rooms and Cheetah's en-suite bathroom is fitted with a bath while Rhino's has a shower.

Elephant is king-size unit with His & Hers en-suite bathrooms – one has a shower and the other a bath. Finally, our Royal African presidential suite is the last say in luxury and adds to the already impressive list of amenities a private outside shower for two, plunge pool, lounge, DStv and fireplace.

Unique Luxury Tented Accommodation

Our affordable luxury lodge accommodation is rounded off by a delightfully unique spin on tented living in the shape of our luxury tented accommodation. Unlike any tented experience you may have had, our thatch-covered, 5-star tented camps are superbly kitted out with all the amenities that make our luxury suites such a pleasure to stay in, including the en-suite bathrooms and plush furnishings. Each tent also has a private outside shower for two and a sun deck from whence you can admire the Bushveld wildlife up close and personal.
