Melozhori: The Cottage

For the discerning traveller, Melozhori Private Game Reserve is the ideal getaway to immerse yourself in a peaceful and relaxing natural environment. Surrounded by undulating hills and mountains, with no other signs of civilization, it feels as though you’re in the deepest “bush” of Africa. The stunning self-catering cottage occupies prime real estate atop a gently sloping hill, with extraordinary views over the valley and is the perfect spot for a weekend away in nature with family or friends. A range of convenient features include a wood-fired hot tub overlooking the blue-fold mountains in the distance, a sparkling pool, a spacious outdoor braai area, outside fire pit, pizza oven and a cosy indoor fireplace for those chilly winter nights.
