The lounge area contains a fireplace, camp chairs and a single daybed. The lights are solar-powered. The lodge opens to a deck with a picnic bench that offers ringside seats to spectacular sunsets over fynbos hills. Out the back of the lodge is a lapa area with a built-in braai. A braai grid is provided and firewood, as well as firelighters, are available for purchase.

It’s just a short walk from the lodge through coastal forest to the grassy banks of the river where you can enjoy a spot of fishing.
