The dome rooms will accommodate two people sharing, have tea and coffee facilities and have an en-suite bathroom with toilet and shower.

Breakfast in the morning is included in the price. Lunch is not included and this gives guests the freedom to roam during the day and not have to be back at a set time. There is a lot to do in the area with our guided nature walks, cycling tracks and estate activities nearby, which we would be more than happy to help organise. We believe what makes a stay special are the small details, such as stargazing and sundowner drinks, put together with good customer service. With our experience managing up market African safari lodges, we believe we can make this idea a success and are currently waiting for planning permission to be approved. We have great plans, but would like to start small. | ||
