Phinda Vlei Lodge - Five star |
|
Hotel Description
Phinda Rock Lodge is sandwiched between Mkuze Game Reserve and the Greater St Lucia Wetalnd Park, it comprises 14 000 hectares of prime conservation land and is home to no less than seven eco-systems and an extraordinary range of wildlife.
Suites of thatch, teak and glass built on stilts overlook Phinda Vlei Lodge's unique "vlei" or wetland pan system. On the verge of a forest, this century-old wetland wilderness is a favourite roaming ground of lightning-fast cheetah. The 6 suites, crafted from local materials of thatch, teak and glass, are suspended above the Sand Forest floor. The décor is a subtle blend of North and West African styles with hints of Balinese influences. The unique architectural design creates the illusion that no man-made structure exists between you and the African wilderness. The shaded terrace is a superb vantage point for bird-watching. The lounge has a fireplace, books and a well-stocked drinks cabinet. Delicious Pan-African cuisine is served in sumptuous surroundings. Guests are welcome to visit the African crafts shop at Forest Lodge.
