This is a very special place. The house is rustic, well-stocked and spotlessly clean. The location is close to Bulwar on a good dirt road. The gardens and surroundings are beautiful. A great getaway place for families or groups of friends. Simon and his team were very helpful…

Response from Simon:

Thanks so much for the feedback Marike. We will definitely update our listing with this info. If you guys like birding come back in September when the cape parrots are nesting. It’s an amazing experience seeing them around the lodge. Take care.
