Belle Balance Bush Lodge: New Honeymoon Suite

When one thinks of Plettenberg Bay, wading hippos and galloping red hartebees typically don’t come into it. But, actually, there’s a lot more to the Garden Route than golden beaches and sparkling blue seas. Tucked away on a private game reserve in the Bitou River Valley is Belle Balance Bush Hideout, a tranquil and exclusive South African safari lodge where nature and comfort meets. Belle Balance Bush Hideout offers four types of luxurious accommodation: standard rooms, a family unit, a family cottage and the New Honeymoon Suite.

Surrounded by fynbos, The New Honeymoon Suite (also known as Room 10) was built in 2023 and boasts one luxurious ensuite bedroom (with a king-size four-poster bed), a cosy lounge with a fireplace, a kitchen and separate dining area, an outdoor shower and a spacious patio with spectacular views of the Tsitsikamma forest.

Good to know
The New Honeymoon Suite is Belle Balance’s new honeymoon suite. Their original honeymoon suite is now known as Room 7 and also serves as a truly romantic sanctuary. Complimentary WiFi is available in the main lodge and selected rooms.
