KubuKwena Golf Lodge

4 Star Luxury Self-Catering Accommodation

Description

This incredible venue allows you to relax and unwind after a hard day of activities of your choice. You would be able to enjoy sundowners on your private patio or in your private pool overlooking a hippo breeding dam, watching animals coming to quench their thirst after another hot day in true African bush.

Along with a sparkling private pool to refresh in, the patio area also contains an outside shower and a built in gas braai / barbecue facility for a true African bush experience.

After your first night under African skies, wake up to the sounds of the bush, and if you are lucky, you may glimpse a local hippo making its way back to the water after a night spent grazing in your garden.
