    Solly's wife let us in. Such a friendly lady. Solly met us after and he is such a kind host. Our stay was great. There was also a friendly furry (dog) that stayed with us outside to make sure that we are secured. We will definitely come back again.

    The place was okay, and the housekeeper Solly was friendly. The staff and the owner are not nagging the visitors in terms of strict rules.

    The host Solly was exceptional and responsive when needed. The garden and the pool was tops. The cherry on top was the game drive which sealed our stay. I would recommend more visitors to the place who prefer a quiet space and wild animals.

In a comfortable lodge surrounded by wild bush, yet in the town – Warmbad, you can joyfully relax and get the unforgettable experience about Africa! The proximity to the Warmbad Zoo will add unforgettable sounds of nature - the roar of a lion, the laughter of a hyena, the howl of a wolf. This is a real African lodge, combining comfortable chalets for a couple on the weekends, as well as houses s for extended staying. On the territory of the lodge you can see such animals as Mouflons, Coati, in a separate part - crocodile. Each one of the houses and chalets located on the territory has its own garden with a barbecue-zone, closed from the neighbors by a decorative shrub wall, which makes you completely forget about the city bustle. The lodge is situated within the boundaries of the town Warmbad (Bela-Bela), in the Waterberg region of the Limpopo province in the immediate vicinity of the Gauteng province and is just an hour and a half drive away from the O.R. Tambo International Airport of Johannesburg or an hour drive away from Pretoria, the capital of South Africa.
We have great experience in “Eco tourism de quality” with excellent accommodation in complete harmony with nature, in the conduct of weekends and celebrations, as well as conducting successful hunting and fishing. Come to experience the enchanting beauty of the wild Africa! George & Natalie
Next to us (100m) is Warmbath Zoo, where you can see more than 40 different species of animals and birds, such as lion, tiger, hyena, leopard, puma, caracal, serval, crocodile, various antelopes, zebras, oryx, flamingos, vultures, toucan and other birds. If you like water activities - this is Warmbaths, A Forever Resort (4 km) - various water slides, pools with warm water, wave pool, super tubes. Next to us is the best restaurant in the city - Langplaas (1.6 km), the most delicious dishes and affordable prices.
