This exceptional 21-hectare lodge is a true bushveld jewel, ideally situated approximately 23 km from Bela-Bela Warmbaths in the foothills of the Waterberg Mountains. The property offers an outstanding combination of natural beauty, established tourism infrastructure, and income-generating opportunities.

Two secluded bush camps cater specifically to the off-road fraternity and are fully self-sufficient, with one camp offering electricity. These sites are positioned at a comfortable distance from the main facilities, ensuring privacy and an authentic bushveld experience.

The property also features two chalets, each sleeping four guests, sharing a fully equipped kitchen and communal braai area.

For larger groups, there is a well-designed guest facility in dormitory or backpacker style, accommodating up to 15 guests across four bedrooms.

A fully equipped kitchen, lounge, and dining area make this facility particularly popular for group bookings.

The property holds a registered Nyala antelope breeding permit with the Limpopo Nature Conservation Department.

Approximately 25 docile Nyala antelope are currently present, with a strong market for sales and an average of 10 animals sold annually. Additional game includes a small herd of impala, duiker, bushbuck, and warthog. Trail camera footage has also confirmed the presence of brown hyena, civet cat, and various other small wildlife species.

Well-maintained internal roads traverse the property, along with two dams and a seasonal stream. The dams are not lined and do not retain water year-round.

Eskom electricity is available, and a Vodacom cellular tower on the property provides both monthly and annual rental income.
