NATURAL CAVE
An Intimate Fine Dining Setting in Our Natural Cave Overlooking a Waterhole
This truly natural cave offers a unique fine dining experience and can host up to 80 guests at a time, 60 inside, 20 outside. The cave was formed approximately 300 000 years ago, when a vast inland lake slowly drained away, with swirling water weathering the sandstone to create this remarkable space. Beyond being an exceptional fine dining venue, the cave was also used by Bantu-speaking tribes around 1 800 years ago as a rain-control and spiritual site.
​
The cave’s setting feels like something out of a bushveld fairytale. A winding path leads over a waterfall and curves around the koppie, opening up to a magnificent view of the reserve and the cave’s entrance. Enjoying fine dining in the natural cave is always a memorable and atmospheric experience.
BUSH BOMA
A SERENE AND PEACEFUL FINE DINING EXPERIENCE UNDER THE STARRY AFRICAN SKY.
Our Bush Boma is located a short distance from the main lodge, secluded between natural boulders and designed to accommodate up to 120 guests. Although electricity is available, the setting relies primarily on candles and paraffin lights, creating a warm and atmospheric dining experience under the African night sky.
​
This unique venue offers a variety of menu options to suit your event, including plated meals, traditional potjie, braai, and buffet-style dining — all of which can be enjoyed at the Bush Boma. With soft lighting embracing the rocky walls and the boma fire flickering in the background, this serene and peaceful setting delivers an unforgettable bushveld dining experience.

LODGE BOMA
RELAX WITH FRIENDS AND SHARE YOUR BUSHVELD STORIES AROUND THE FIRE.
The Lodge Boma is cradled between a rocky outcrop and our dining room.
The centralized Boma fire creates a pleasant yet bubbly atmosphere while dining with your friends or colleagues. Many late night bushveld stories have been shared around this social setting.
We also host breakfasts at this lovely venue. With the sun creeping through the surrounding rocky outcrops, your day will be refreshed with birds singing while you enjoy your tantalizing breakfast.
