Indoor & outdoor living

Effortless luxury

The Manor is small enough to feel intimate, yet large enough to give all guests a feeling of space and privacy.

The villa opens up into two living areas and two smaller breakaway lounging alcoves. Unwind by the fireplace where a crackling fire burns in the winter months and the large glass doors to the patio are cast wide open in summer.

When the weather is fair, candlelit dinners are set up on the verandah, on the lawn by the lantern-edged pool or out in the bush under star-studded skies.

a truly private safari

The Manor is designed for exclusive-use bookings, ensuring a truly private safari.

Guests at The Manor benefit from a private vehicle with dedicated field guide, tracker, chef and host as well as a tailor-made programme of activities – for all ages and interests.

The Manor offers a truly private stay. The service and food were exceptional and the safaris were the highlight of our trip to South Africa.
