Questions guests ask before they book

A five-star nature lodge in Hazyview with one- and two-bedroom private pool villas, Thai-Balinese décor, a daily-changing kitchen and in-villa wellness treatments, set above the Sabie River Valley, close to Kruger.

We welcome guests over the age of 18. The retreat is designed to be tranquil and romantic, so we keep it adults only.

Air conditioning and a ceiling fan, an extra-length king bed, a stocked minibar, a Nespresso machine, complimentary Wi-Fi, luxury toiletries, a laptop safe, satellite TV, a fireplace, and a private deck with loungers.
