Deluxe Guesthouse
Deluxe Guesthouse
Escape to our charming thatched-roof guest house, a perfect blend of authentic Free State warmth and quiet luxury, tucked away on the reserve. This spacious three-bedroom retreat comfortably accommodates up to eight guests, offering a serene home-away-from-home feel.
The master bedroom features its own private en-suite bathroom with both bath and shower, while the other two well-appointed bedrooms share a neat bathroom equipped with a full bath and shower —ideal for families or small groups.
At the heart of the house lies a fully equipped kitchen, complete with stove, oven, fridge, and all the essentials for preparing hearty meals or simple braais. Adjacent is an open-plan living and dining area that flows effortlessly, inviting relaxed evenings by the fireplace or casual gatherings around the table.
Step outside from the main bedroom onto a private patio overlooking the lush garden and manicured lawn. Here, you’re treated to peaceful vistas of the grassland stretching toward the large lake (dam) beyond—watch flocks of birds gather at the water’s edge, and most evenings, herds of impala and other antelope wander onto the lawn to graze, creating magical wildlife moments right from your doorstep.
The garden itself is a tranquil haven, with shaded seating areas under mature trees where you can sip a sundowner, read a book, or simply soak in the sounds of nature and the expansive Free State sky. The classic thatch roof adds timeless charm and character, enhancing the sense of being immersed in the bush yet with all the comforts of home.
Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway, family celebration, or a peaceful escape after a day of exploring the reserve, our guest house delivers genuine relaxation in one of the most scenic spots between Welkom and Kroonstad.

GOOD Based on 158 reviews Kakhuis2024-10-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a very enjoyable stay in a self catering chalet. They are semi-detached but you don't hear the people next door or feel like they are right next door to you. The staff are very friendly and professional. There are plenty of animals to see and hear. Almost every morning of my stay there was a fish eagle call. You can just sit and look out towards the dam and see the wildlife come past. There is fast wifi and the aircon worked well. There is a fridge, microwave, kettle and stove along with 2 pots and one pan. There is a braai facility for each unit just outside the door and braai tongs inside the unit. I would ask that if you do go here that you do not leave your vehicle parked in front of the gate preventing other people from being able to move in and out. There is ample parking just to the right of the entrance and is well demarcated. Carol Snyman2024-09-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
