Accommodation Description

Clifftop Exclusive Safari Hideaway offers eight luxurious cliff-perched suites, each designed for complete privacy and sweeping views over the Sterkstroom River gorge. Every suite features its own timber deck, private plunge pool, indoor and outdoor showers plus a freestanding bathtub in the en-suite bathroom. Interiors blend natural wood, stone and crisp white-grey accents, creating a refined, serene atmosphere. Air-conditioning, tea & coffee making facilities, in-room safe, mini-bar and direct telephone complete the comforts. At the heart of the lodge is a chic lounge with fireplace, an infinity-edge swimming pool overlooking the gorge and an outdoor deck perfect for sundowners. Two game drives daily are included in your stay, allowing you to explore the reserve’s wildlife between moments of restful indulgence.

Setting Description

Set within the malaria-free 36 000 ha Welgevonden Private Game Reserve, which borders the Marakele National Park, Clifftop’s location is exceptional. From its elevated perch on the edge of the gorge you’ll absorb panoramic views of wooded mountains, rocky ravines and the river below. The lodge is approximately three hours’ drive from Johannesburg, making it accessible yet remote enough to feel fully immersed in nature. Wildlife from elephant to rhino and a rich birdlife (350+ species) roam freely in the reserve’s varied terrain of riverine forest, grass plain and escarpment. The lodge specialises in intimate, romantic getaways: no children under 13 are accommodated, and mobile phone reception is deliberately limited to preserve the sense of escape.
