Rooms

Standard Room

Each of the 16 double rooms at the Plantation Lodge has its own unique style. African safari antiques and Tanzanian arts and crafts decorate the rooms, while modern amenities ensure that you’ll have a comfortable stay. Six rooms can be converted into triple rooms as these rooms offer more than enough space for an extra bed.

The rooms are distributed throughout the flowering garden, some with verandas and direct access to the garden, and others purely boasting a spacious and tranquil place in which to relax and unwind.

Other Room Types

The Honeymoon Suite at Plantation Lodge is situated apart from the other rooms, offering romantics even more privacy. The rooms feature a cosy fireplace, terrace and special shower & Jacuzzi bath - highly recommended for a romantic night.

The group house lies further down the garden and offers an ideal place for a family or a group of friends. It features four double suites, all of which are en suite, as well as a large dining room. Facilities are also available for younger children.

Facilities

The large pool at the bottom end of the garden overlooks the valley below and offers an ideal place in which to cool off after a day out in the sun or simply relax on a lounger.

Dining

Tuck into a range of European specialties or try something new with the many exotic dishes at Plantation Lodge.

Meals are prepared using fresh vegetables and herbs from the garden and are accompanied by your choice of exquisite South African wines.

The group house has a large dining room, offering a wonderful social atmosphere in which to enjoy your dinners. Alternatively, choose to enjoy a romantic, private dinner by candlelight.
