Set like a gem amidst pristine indigenous forest, this classic thatched Lodge with its sweeping wooden decks and modern amenities is everything you hoped for.

Guests are treated to a picturesque trip up the Kariega Estuary, mirroring the experience at our other Camps, allowing for a unique perspective of the surrounding landscape. Upon arrival, a fascinating guided boat transfer from the boat to Bush Lodge via a game drive vehicle adds to the sense of adventure and immersion in the natural beauty of the Reserve.

Bush Lodge’s secluded luxury, comprises only four thatched suites overlooking a pristine wooded valley. These exquisitely appointed units offer unparalleled privacy, spaciousness, and en-suite facilities, including both outside and inside showers. Sink into the comfort of a king or queen-sized bed, to ensure a rejuvenating night’s sleep. Two suites feature sleeper couches for teenagers sharing with their parents.

Embrace the cozy ambience of cooler winter evenings by the wood-burning fireplace, creating cherished moments of warmth and relaxation.

Indulge in leisurely moments at the sparkling heated swimming pool, a refreshing oasis nestled amidst the wilderness, offering a relaxing retreat between exhilarating game drives and activities.

Dedicated Hosts and Guides are on hand at all times, ensuring your every comfort is taken care of with professionalism and expertise.

    What to pack

    A warm, waterproof jacket is an essential item, even in midsummer! Long pants are also recommended for evenings. Don’t forget a swimming costume – swimming towels are provided on request. Suntan lotion (preferably waterproof) and sun block are essential all year as are caps or hats.

    Climate

    The Eastern Cape weather is notoriously variable, but the ‘Sunshine Coast’ is so-called as this area apparently boasts the most sunshine hours in South Africa but being situated close to the coast, the wind plays an unavoidable part.
