Description

The Shire Eco Lodge is situated on the edge of the indigenous Xholora forest in the Amatola Mountains, 10.2 km from Stutterheim. The lodge offers an innovative design in a magnificent setting, and the ideal getaway for the nature-loving and adventurous types, business travellers and families.

Comfortable accommodation is offered in 2 self-catering chalets that are ideal for couples or a family of 4. Each open-plan chalet contains either a queen-size bed, or 2 three-quarter beds, as well as 2 child-only sleeper couches. The chalets each have an en-suite bathroom fitted with a shower, a toilet, and a basin.

The kitchen is equipped with a microwave, a fridge, as well as tea- and coffee-making facilities, and guests have access to their own braai facilities. Striking curved-glass corner windows provide guests with a feeling of being part of the forest.

Stutterheim offers a variety of restaurants for dining, galleries, pottery workshops as well as attractions such as the Stationary Engine Museum, Old Thomas River Historical Village with its rock art museum and tours, or Mqwali Xhosa Cultural Village.

Activities and attractions in the area include beautiful hikes to waterfalls, rock-climbing and bouldering, abseiling, horseback trails, mountain bike trails, bird watching, Lemonwood forests and Anderson Dam, canoeing on the Gubu Dam, trout and bass fishing, archery, motorbike tours, golf, tennis, and squash.
