Belle Balance Bush Lodge: Room

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.

There are five Rooms to choose from at Belle Balance Bush Lodge: Rooms 1 to 4 are conveniently situated in the original stone lodge, while Room 7 is set in the bush and offers more privacy. Room 1 is a petite king room with a separate shower and bath; Room 2 is a large king room with a shower; Room 3 boasts two three-quarter beds and a separate bath and shower; Room 4 is a large king room with a bath and shower; and Room 7 is a queen room with both an indoor and outdoor bath and shower.

Good to know
Room 7 used to be the honeymoon suite and still serves as a truly romantic sanctuary. Complimentary WiFi is available in the main lodge and selected rooms.
