Description

Thunzi Bush Lodge is located in the tranquil sanctuary of coastal forest and African bush and offers country style, self-catering accommodation 30 km from the centre of Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth).

The lodge offers charming, self-catering, wooden chalets that can accommodate between 2 to 6 people. The chalets have comfortably furnished bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms. Each chalet also has a fully equipped kitchen, and some of the chalets have a wood-fired hot tub, undercover braai and a private lapa. Guests have access to laundry facilities and the units are serviced daily.

The dome accommodates 2 guests and is furnished with a queen-size bed and features a bathroom fitted with a shower, bath and toilet. The unit has a kitchenette equipped with a fridge and tea- and coffee-making facilities. The unit features a deck with a wood-fired hot tub.

Thunzi Bush Lodge has the first-ever dome, consisting of 3 pods — all designed for stargazing! The pods include a bedroom, a self-catering kitchen, and a bathroom. Relax in the wood-fired hot tub while taking in the views of the wetlands and surroundings. Or have a luxury African bush braai while watching the sunset. This dome is anything but ordinary!

Guests can relax at the lazy lizard swimming pool, experience the friendly staff, order one of the tasty picnic baskets and enjoy many other interesting activities.

The lodge caters mainly to the traveller who enjoys a tranquil setting, forest and beach walks, bass fishing and bird watching. Walking trails around the lodge provide access to the dense indigenous forest where many bird species and animals including the Bushbuck, Blue Duiker and Vervet Monkeys, to name a few, can be spotted in the area. The lodge is located near the Addo Elephant Park and Shamwari Game Reserve where Africa's Big 5 can be spotted.
