Plantation Lodge

The main area is a central house that includes dining, lounge and bar facilities, all under one roof and decorated in elegant colonial style. In the dining area, the tables are intimate and comfortable, the cuisine is excellent and the atmosphere is warm. Seating areas are scattered across the central area, and most have a fireplace as their focal point. Outside, a veranda leads to rolling lawns and a swimming pool surrounded by chairs.

There are 15 standard rooms at the lodge, but actually they are far more than simply ’standard’! Extremely spacious and beautifully decorated, they all have fireplaces and cosy seating areas, and some also have small outdoor verandas. Bathrooms are sparkling and just as big. For families, there are two-bedroom suites. The six suites are newer additions and are equally as lovely but a touch larger and definitely more private.

At Plantation Lodge the in-house experience takes centre stage, with external activities taking an unexpected supporting role. There are guided walks through an aromatic coffee plantation and visits to the neighbouring community for a taste of culture. The impressive wine cellar provides the opportunity for a little wine tasting. Explore the garden's exotic birdlife and if you fancy a pamper, the spa is ready and waiting. If you're venturing into the parks, request a personal guide – most are helpful and knowledgeable.
