Three contemporary suites accommodating a maximum of six guests feature floor to-ceiling glass windows with views over the Sand River where wildlife gathers, air conditioning, a plunge pool on the private deck and a blazing fireplace – crushed stone, rough granite, wood and glass contributing to the stylish design.

Dine privately by candlelight or around the campfire in the boma, the epicurean feasts partnered by the best of South African wines. Thrilling night drives provide an opportunity to glimpse seldom-encountered nocturnal species, this being the time when hippos emerge from the water to feed, and lion and leopard take advantage of the cooler temperatures to go hunting.
