Fireside Evenings and African Sunrises

At the end of a winding gravel road, where the thorn trees lean gently over the path and antelope graze in the late afternoon sun, stands a five-bedroom lodge tucked safely inside a secure wildlife estate. It is a place where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings end around a crackling fire under a sky heavy with stars.

The main house welcomes you with a broad patio that looks out over the bushveld, often visited by wandering nyala and curious warthogs. Large doors open into an airy open-plan living space where the dining room and lounge flow effortlessly together. Sunlight spills across tiled floors, and the hum of air conditioners keeps the home cool even on the warmest summer days. The kitchen forms the heart of the house, fitted with a gas stove for effortless cooking, an electric oven, a generous pantry, and a separate scullery that keeps everything neat and practical when entertaining guests.

Three comfortable bedrooms are located inside the main house. The master bedroom enjoys its own full en-suite bathroom, offering privacy and relaxation after long bush walks. The second full bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, thoughtfully designed for both family living and weekend visitors.

A wooden staircase leads upstairs to a charming fifth bedroom, slightly removed from the rest of the home, perfect as a private retreat, kids’ hideaway, or additional guest suite. Just outside the main house, a fourth bedroom offers even more seclusion, ideal for visitors who appreciate their own space while still being part of the lodge experience.

Step outside and the true magic of the property unfolds. A sparkling swimming pool shimmers in the sun, inviting you to cool off while watching wildlife pass beyond the fence line. The traditional boma sits ready for storytelling evenings around the fire, while the built-in braai promises long, laughter-filled gatherings with friends and family. An outdoor shower adds a touch of safari charm, there’s nothing quite like showering beneath the open sky.

Practical comforts blend seamlessly with bushveld beauty. Gas geysers ensure hot water even during power interruptions, and a generator provides reliable backup power. An alarm system offers peace of mind within the already secure estate.

The lodge has already proven its appeal, having been successfully rented out for weekend getaways through Lekker Slaap, making it not only a tranquil escape but also an income-generating opportunity. Sold fully furnished and equipped, it is ready for its next chapter, whether as a private sanctuary, a family retreat, or a continued holiday rental.

Here, life moves at nature’s pace. The wildlife roam freely, the sunsets linger longer, and every weekend feels like a getaway.
