Our facilities include a large crystal clear swimming pool surrounded by a wooden pool deck overlooking fabulous views which gives you the feeling of sitting among the trees - an ideal spot to grab the binoculars and birdwatch! There are a number of birds who feed and nest among the kiaat, lowveld chestnuts, wild fig and mobola plum trees to name but a few of the many indigenous trees on the property. A resident brown-hooded kingfisher is a delight to watch as he bathes in the garden birdbath!

The cosy bar and lounge are also comfortable places to relax at the end of a day for a sundowner or drinks before dinner. Our 3-course table d’hôte meal is prepared using only the freshest of herbs, vegetables in season and quality meats, fish and poultry for our discerning guests.

Chestnut Country Lodge offers a superb Continental Buffet Breakfast as well as a full English Breakfast each morning.
