“Luxury must be comfortable otherwise it is not luxury” Coco Chanel. We do not take luxury and comfort for granted as these remain the two most important reasons for our existence. On the other hand though, the prices are low so that means the guest can enjoy more for less giving more value for money. Seat back, relax and take in endless views of the wilderness or soak in our spa quality bath while listening to the sounds of birds singing beautifully.
It’s crazy how we travel away from home to get different experiences but still want to feel comfortable as though we are home. Our lodge is pleasant and welcoming with friendly staff who will ensure that you are satisfied. The décor, furniture and interiors all make a cozy abode for our guests. Cuddle up in your room or make use of the various lounges / balconies to star gaze or read a book. Leave re-energized and rejuvenated ready to face life on the outside.
