This exceptional 21-hectare lodge is a true bushveld jewel, ideally situated approximately 23 km from Bela-Bela (Warmbaths) in the foothills of the Waterberg Mountains. The property offers an outstanding combination of natural beauty, established tourism infrastructure, and income-generating opportunities.
The lodge can comfortably accommodate up to 35 guests, excluding additional caravan and bush camp facilities. The main tented camp comprises six luxury en-suite safari tents, two of which feature private jacuzzis. Each tent sleeps two guests and offers breathtaking panoramic views extending over the Springbok Flats, with visibility of up to 100 km.
A spacious dining and living area with a fully equipped kitchen serves the tented camp and provides a welcoming communal space for guests.
Additional accommodation includes a small, shaded caravan park with four caravan sites, each equipped with electricity and its own braai area, set beneath large indigenous trees. Two secluded bush camps cater specifically to the off-road fraternity and are fully self-sufficient, with one camp offering electricity. These sites are positioned at a comfortable distance from the main facilities, ensuring privacy and an authentic bushveld experience.
The property also features two chalets, each sleeping four guests, sharing a fully equipped kitchen and communal braai area.
For larger groups, there is a well-designed guest facility in dormitory or backpacker style, accommodating up to 15 guests across four bedrooms. This includes one large bedroom with a double bed and a single bed, as well as three additional bedrooms fitted with bunk beds. A fully equipped kitchen, lounge, and dining area make this facility particularly popular for group bookings.
Recreational and event amenities include a swimming pool and a large warehouse-style hall adjacent to the pool, fitted with a bar and large television screen. This venue is ideal for conferences, functions, and private events.
The main residence is a comfortable and modern three-bedroom home featuring a jacuzzi, modern kitchen, splash pool, bar area, two outside rooms, a lapa, and a beautifully maintained garden. Parking is well catered for with a carport for four vehicles at the house, an additional carport for two vehicles, and a three-car garage.
Operational infrastructure includes a well-equipped tool store housing a wide range of tools and equipment. Water supply is secured by two boreholes, one fitted with an electric pump and the other with a diesel pump, providing reliable water throughout the year, including winter months.
The property holds a registered Nyala antelope breeding permit with the Limpopo Nature Conservation Department. Approximately 25 tame Nyala antelope are currently present, with a strong market for sales and an average of 10 animals sold annually. Additional game includes a small herd of impala, duiker, bushbuck, and warthog. Trail camera footage has also confirmed the presence of brown hyena, civet cat, and various other small wildlife species.
Well-maintained internal roads traverse the property, along with two dams and a seasonal stream. The dams are not lined and do not retain water year-round. Security is excellent, with guests required to pass through two electric gates to access the area. The property itself features a solar-powered electric entrance gate and is fully game fenced.
Eskom electricity is available, and a Vodacom cellular tower on the property provides both monthly and annual rental income.
The property is sold as a going concern, including all lodge equipment and bedding. The owners will retain only the furniture in the main house and the bar.
