Hidden Waterberg gem
Perfect for a family break. Kids loved the walks, we loved the endless quiet and sunsets from the deck.
Idwala 'Le Ingwe Lodge offers two beautifully designed self-catering holiday homes in the heart of the spectacular Waterberg Biosphere. Perched atop rocky outcrops, both homes have been thoughtfully crafted to celebrate the raw beauty of their surroundings — blending natural stone, wood, and expansive glass to create light-filled spaces with endless views across the bushveld. Each home is stylishly appointed, featuring open-plan living and dining areas, fully equipped kitchens, comfortable bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, and private decks perfect for soaking up sunsets or stargazing. One home is suited for families or small groups, while the other offers a more intimate, couple-friendly retreat. With panoramic views from almost every room and outdoor braai areas, the lodge homes are ideal for travellers wanting space, privacy, and a real connection to nature — without sacrificing comfort.
Located within the Waterberg’s rolling hills and rugged beauty, Idwala 'Le Ingwe Lodge is an off-the-beaten-track escape where guests are surrounded by wide skies, rocky outcrops, and indigenous bushveld. It’s remote enough to feel wild, yet accessible enough for easy weekend escapes from Johannesburg. Whether you spend your days exploring the Waterberg or simply unwinding on the deck, the lodge promises complete tranquillity and true slow living.
