Description

Nestled in the heart of Mpumalanga, South Africa, lies the Bakoni Forest Lodge at Heysbrook, a stunning retreat situated in Waterval Onder. The lodge is not only a luxurious escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life but is also steeped in history. The lodge is intimately set amongst a series of stone kraals and walkways, which were once inhabited by the BaKoni people over 800 years ago. The indigenous forest, which occupies much of Heysbrook's riverine topography alongside the banks of streams and a river, provides a natural and serene backdrop for the lodge.

The lodge itself is a tribute to the turn-of-the-century history of the valley. Exposed handcrafted trusses, wooden ceilings, and dressed-stone walls are all architectural details that add to the lodge's charm. Large stacking doors, folding windows, and expansive verandahs ensure that the outside is part of the inside, creating an open and inviting atmosphere. The lodge features 5 bedrooms and 5 en-suite bathrooms. Each bedroom is furnished with a king-size bed and offers an en-suite bathroom fitted with a bath, a shower, a toilet, and a basin.

The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering and contains a stove, oven, fridge-freezer, microwave, cutlery, and crockery. The open-plan living area features a dining table, a bar, comfortable seating, and a TV.

Bakoni Forest Lodge at Heysbrook also features a well-equipped boma, which is located deep under the forest canopy. It provides a perfect spot for guests to enjoy a braai while surrounded by nature. Whether guests are looking for a romantic getaway or a family vacation, the Bakoni Forest Lodge provides the perfect escape.
