Facilities

Guests enjoy exclusive use of the 8000-acre private nature reserve. The secluded, spacious house is open to air and light while thatch insulates against the heat of summer. A relaxing, comfortably furnished interior includes the lounge, a dining room, upstairs recreation area, wooden deck and two elegant bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms overlooking a panoramic landscape.

There is a sparkling swimming pool and barbecue area within an enclosed boma for open-air dining; trimmed lawns and indigenous gardens surround the main house.

Hopewell accommodates just four people in two bedrooms. Sofa bed sleeping arrangements can be made for children; however we recommend a minimum age of 8 years.

Telephone, fax and e-mail facilities are available on request.

The Lodge is fully equipped, stocked and staffed, by personnel with 15 years combined experience and training in the Relais et Chateaux group.. All you have to do is relax and enjoy the discreet yet attentive service and delicious table d’hôte meals served with top South African wines.

Activities while there is abundant wildlife on the estate, there are no dangerous predators.

Walk in the wilderness or camp under the stars with a knowledgably guide and enjoy learning about the habitat, animals and birds. Other activities available to enrich your stay range from mountain biking, clay pigeon and target shooting, or just simply to enjoy the peace and relax by the pool with a book and a picnic.

Outside activities and tours can be arranged - including horseback riding, boating, and trail hiking.
