Rock Lodge – Ulusaba – 5 Star
WELCOME TO ROCK LODGE
OVERVIEW:
At Rock Lodge, you are on top of the world, perfect for surveying miles of the game-rich South African bush as you stand eight hundred feet above the wilderness.
The view is king here and there are endless opportunities to spot the roaming wildlife, all set against a backdrop of the Drakensberg Mountains far in the distance. The Lodge inside is just as spectacular with the granite rock of the koppie a key feature of the main house’s design and each room’s unique design reflecting African tribal influences and style.
There are 8 air-conditioned rooms at Rock Lodge, including the Master Suite, Makwela Suites, Rock Cliff rooms and the two bedroom Rock Suite, some with private plunge pools.
ACCOMMODATIONS:
ROCK CLIFF ROOMS
There are four adjoining Rock Cliff rooms, all south facing with private balconies offering views over the vast landscape. Rooms are spacious and offer en-suite bathrooms with spectacular views. Two of these rooms are built on split levels with a spiral staircase connecting the bedroom and bathroom.
ROCK SUITE
A spacious two bedroom suite with living area. The master bedroom can be split into a twin and has a full en-suite with views over the bush. The second queen bedded bunk room has a smaller en-suite shower room. An ideal option if you are travelling as a family as it can accommodate two children.
MASTER SUITE
This suite is built on three levels with beautiful views, an en-suite bathroom, and private balcony with infinity plunge pool. The living area has another terrace with sun loungers looking out over the bush, so bring your binoculars. This is one of Richard Branson’s favourite rooms and ideal for honeymooners.
MAKWELA SUITE
Two lavish suites built on two levels with en-suite bathrooms and featuring private balconies with infinity edge plunge pools. With separate living area and a study/library, each has a luxurious couch perfect if you’re bringing the kids.
OUTDOOR POOL
Take in the views while having a dip or spend your time lazing on a sun lounger. Feeling chilly? Not to worry the pool is heated in the winter months.
