Hemel Bushveld Lodge is thoughtfully designed to offer space, comfort, and privacy for families, friends, and small groups.
The main building features a large open-plan living area that seamlessly connects the lounge, dining area, and kitchen. The modern kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need, including an oven, induction stove, pantry, dishwasher, and a double refrigerator with freezer—perfect for longer stays and group gatherings. A spacious dining table invites everyone to enjoy meals together, while the comfortable lounge area creates a relaxed atmosphere.
Above the kitchen, a mezzanine level offers a fun retreat with a PlayStation 4 and board games, ideal for children and teens.
The main house features four double bedrooms, each with a queen-size bed and a private en-suite bathroom, ensuring comfort and privacy for every guest.
Outside, you’ll find two separate four-sleeper cottages, each with its own en-suite bathroom and spacious single beds, ideal for additional family members or friends who prefer a bit more privacy.
The outdoor area is designed for authentic bushveld living, featuring a swimming pool, a traditional boma for barbecues under the stars, and a lapa with a television where guests can log in and enjoy their own streaming services.
The lodge is set in the middle of 270 hectares of fenced private land, offering peace, space, and complete exclusivity. The property is home to a variety of wildlife, including giraffes, zebras, kudus, wildebeests, and other plains game that roam freely across the bushveld. Guests are welcome to explore the farm by hiking, mountain biking, or driving along the existing roads in a 4x4 vehicle, allowing you to experience the landscape and wildlife at your own pace.
Hemel Bushveld Lodge is fully solar-powered, has its own water supply, and provides free Wi-Fi, combining off-grid independence with modern comfort.
