Koro Lodge at Bushmans Kloof, Cape Town

Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve and Retreat at the foothills of the Cederberg Mountains in Cape Town will open Koro Lodge in July to meet the increasing demand for luxurious, family-friendly holidays in a unique wilderness setting.

A fully, independently catered-for-family experience, Koro Lodge is an existing farmhouse in the reserve that has been converted into a comfortable, luxurious private villa. It offers flexible accommodation options for up to eight people as a perfect home-away-from-home for friends and families travelling together, and where children are welcome all year*.

The services of a dedicated chef, hostess, and guide with a game-viewing vehicle (maximum eight passengers) are included, as are all meals, local beverages, and activities. Koro Lodge has two luxury bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms leading to their own terraces: one with a private outdoor shower. It also has a loft with single beds for up to four children sharing. A special games and entertainment room includes a flat screen TV with a variety of DVDs, games and toys, and is equipped with two single beds and a bathroom to provide additional accommodation.

The private villa is comfortably and luxuriously styled in natural vibrant earth colours, with beautiful, handcrafted South African objects and furnishings. It is designed to provide every service and satisfy all needs. As such it is equipped with flat screen TVs and DVDs, CDs, cable channels, music system, family games, under-floor heating, air conditioning, living room fireplace, and Wi-Fi access throughout. An open-plan living space on the ground level has wonderful indoor and outdoor eating areas and a wide veranda complete with infinity splash pool and lounges. The vistas onto the reserve are breathtaking.

Located approximately two kilometres from the main lodge and within easy walking distance of one of the main dams, guest programmes and activities will be flexible and may include guided rock art walks and nature drives, hiking, mountain biking and canoeing. Special children’s activities and family excursions will be available too.

(*The no-children-under-ten policy remains at Bushmans Kloof main lodge except during Family Affair packages during school holidays).

Koro Lodge Launch Special: July/August 2007: R10 000 per night (maximum four adults and four children sharing), inclusive of all meals, local beverages with meals, and activities.
