lodge details
Style
Granite and thatch accommodation incorporating the surrounding environment.
Setting
Adjacent to the magnificent Matobo Hills. Access is by road transfer.
Accommodation & Facilities
The 7 cottages are made from granite under thatch and are all en-suite with their own private balcony. The main area consists of The Leopards Lair, where you will find the communal dining area, teak bar and a lounge, where you can clearly see the use of the huge granite boulders within the structure – even from the inside. There is also a natural rock pool with sparkling blue water, a welcome contrast to the warm coloured rocks the lodge is surrounded by. There is ample room here to relax as well as a ‘cave style’ boma where cold drinks are served. At night this area is illuminated by paraffin lanterns and guests can sit around the roaring fire and recount the day’s adventures.
Dining
Dining is communal and is usually done in the Leopards Lair dining area.
Activities
There is fantastic game viewing here which an be done in the area and across in Whovi Game Park, a protected sanctuary for black and white rhino. These amazing creatures, and others, can be tracked in a vehicle (day and night) and on foot with a professional guide. This is also a great place to spot leopard. Other activities include bird watching, mountain biking and adventure races and cultural visits. The Khoisan rock art is a must while you are here and it is great to take the time to visit a local school or village if you can.
