Amazing lodge with 6 suites with private plunge pools and awe-inspiring views over the valley

Immersed in a Private Game Reserve which spreads over more than 28 000 hectares of protected wildlife land in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, Phinda Rock Lodge occupies a dramatic location overlooking the impressive Leopard Rock. The rocky cliffside position ensures guests feel totally immersed in the surroundings being close to the reserve’s abundant birdlife and the wildlife roaming below.

Boasting seven ecosystems and an extraordinary range of wildlife, this area is considered one of Africa’s most diverse wilderness areas.

The lodge interior features an earthy, soft grey palette and solid wooden shutters and doors.

The guest areas have a very relaxed, yet glamourous style abounding in beautiful decorative details. The living area has a fireplace and comfortable sofas, while the dining room has an intimate feel and gorgeous lighting. Large French doors open onto an extensive outdoor veranda, the ideal spot for al fresco meals, while the rooftop terrace provides the ultimate venue for dining under the stars.

Each of the six guest cottages boasts impressive views of the valley, a simple design perfectly integrating with the surrounding nature and a viewing deck where guests can relax and take in the scenery. What’s more, each of them has a private plunge pool for another touch of pampering, an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub encased in wide windows overlooking the awe-inspiring valley, and several also boast outdoor showers.

For those looking for luxury accommodation along with authentic safari experiences in the African bush, Phinda Rock Lodge cannot be missed.

Other activities include bush walks, conservation walks, coral reef diving, bird watching, Zulu village visits, and campfire meals to name but a few.

Phinda Private Game Reserve has its own airstrip with daily scheduled flights from Johannesburg, or private charters can be arranged from anywhere in South Africa.
