Amazing bush stay

Bontle Lodge feels like home away from home, the location is exquisite, we enjoyed our stay and would love to return soon. The rooms had a sense of tranquillity, with the calming sound of the river flowing by. The food was mouth-watering and so much love and care was put into it.
