Our Guest House sits among ten hectares of mountain top with beautiful vistas
of the surrounding farmlands and other hills and mountains, particularly
Legogote or “The Lion Head” – a remnant of a long extinct volcanic core.
We offer accommodation in seven en-suite rooms and one luxury cottage with
own lounge and private veranda if you wish, all with television incl. South
African DSTV, while the public facilities include our huge swimming pool, with
Lapa, boma and Sauna, and two terraces for relaxing, while inside our dining
room is complemented by a lounge and a bar. Sumptuous evening meals are
provided, on request, and we pride ourselves on our German and Turkish
specialities, together with a selection of South African wines.
The indigenous sour bushveld trees and shrubs surround the lodge as do around
one hundred species of bird, which are the only source of sound to disturb your
peace.
The White River area’s climate is renowned as one of the most congenial in
South Africa, and ensures you of a relaxed time with us, with the right
combination of luxury indoor and outdoor living, with our lovely rock pool in
which to keep cool.
Our Lodge is situated in South Africa’s province of Mpumalanga –“the place
where the sun rises” – just 5 km from the small town of White River and 8km
from the new Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport with its unique thatched
roofed terminal and you can reach White River’s 18 hole Championship
Golf-course in ten minutes. A little further away and a twenty minute journey is
Nelspruit, the provincial capital city with all modern amenities including a
casino and the new Mbombela Stadium which will host the Soccer Worldcup 2010.
The Kingdom of Swaziland is only an hour’s drive away, and a further hour can
see you in Maputo, the capital city of Mozambique on Africa’s East
coast. Closer to our home are the local places of interest, a mere thirty
minutes drive taking you into the world renowned Kruger National Park, while the
reverse direction, and in the same driving time, finds you up on the Escarpment
at 1400m altitude, which is the southern most tip of the Great Rift Valley
escarpment, where you will find Blyde River Canyon, the second deepest canyon in
the world, Gods Window, and of course the gold rush village, now a national
monument, of Pilgrim’s Rest.The surrounding area provides just about every
sporting and leisure activity which may be your pleasure, which we will be happy
to advise and arrange for you, even to such activities as trout fishing up on
the escarpment and helicopter trips over the main landscape landmarks. Many
famous artists have made their home in our area, and high class crafts, curios
and artifacts are available.
Finally, we can assist you with car hire, organized tours, and transfer
services
