Melozhori Game Reserve: The Cottage

For the discerning traveller, Melozhori Game Reserve is the ideal place to immerse yourself in silence and solitude, and a 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.

This stunning self-catering cottage occupies prime real estate atop a gently sloping hill, with extraordinary views over the valley. It boasts a range of convenient features, including a wood-fired hot tub overlooking the blue-fold mountains in the distance, a sparkling pool, a spacious outdoor braai area, an outside fire pit, a pizza oven and a cosy indoor fireplace for those chilly winter nights.

Good to know
Melozhori Cottage is self-catering, but a semi-catered package is available by prior arrangement; all the ingredients for pizza-making, a braai, continental breakfasts, cheese platters and snacks are provided.
