PheZulu Guest Lodge

​With mature trees and fragrant blossoms, the gardens give PheZulu a tropical feel, although they're kept trimmed to fit in to their suburban surrounds. There's a swimming pool that's deliciously cool – just the right temp for a dip year-round, a bar and a restaurant that offers plenty of separate seating in its brightly decorated dining room. Breakfasts are included (from fruits to full English); while dinner comes at an extra cost. Meals are also served on the shady veranda in the garden.

This medium-sized lodge is niftily designed to make each area feel spacious. Nineteen rooms sleep two in a king-sized or twin-bed configuration, each with an en-suite bathroom with both bath and shower; two additional rooms sleep three guests and offer just a shower in the en-suite bathroom. All have mod cons including wi-fi, aircon and hairdryers. Garden-facing rooms have double doors that open to a small furnished patio. The interiors are bright and crisp, and the thoughtful design makes them very comfortable.
