The elevated 'upper deck' offers stunning views across the plains and river and the quiet solitude of this private location makes it the perfect place to witness sensational sunsets, whilst savouring the moment with a sundowner cocktail. 

There are four bedrooms in the lodge, all with en-suite bathrooms. A very comfortable lounge area is available with a fireplace and big screen television. The lodge features a pool along with another lounging area overlooking the bush veldt.
