Ant's Nest

The original homestead, with its wide verandahs, lies in a natural amphitheater and has a classic, relaxed, African atmosphere. A wide variety of game frequents the waterhole in front of the bush home. Classic furniture made from local fabrics, timber and stone brings a stylish warmth to the lodge. There is a 15 meter swimming pool surrounded by extensive lawns in the garden, as well as a wonderful thatched area with sofa beds where guests can relax.

Ant's Nest has six en-suite bedrooms with verandahs and can accommodate up to 12 guests. The Sable Suite is a spacious luxury suite, consisting of a master bedroom, a twin room, and a sitting room. The Weaver Suite is the largest double room and has a king-size four-poster bed as well as a large four-poster daybed. The Rondavel is a charming double room, built in traditional African style. The Davidson rooms are two comfortable bedrooms located in the original homestead.
