The fully equipped kitchen offers a fridge, stove, oven, microwave, cutlery, crockery, tea/coffee facilities, washing machine, and dishwasher. A breakfast counter and air-conditioned living area with seating, TV, WiFi, and dining space add comfort. A glass door leads to the outdoor braai area and boma firepit with bush views.

We’re the Rupping family, passionate about people, nature, and the kind of rest that sinks into your bones. This retreat began as our own dream of escaping the noise of the city. Today, it’s a place we’re honoured to share with guests looking for something real: silence, starlight, slow mornings, and stories around a fire. When you stay with us, you’re not just booking a lodge, you’re stepping into a space we’ve lovingly created for peace, reconnection, and memorable bush moments.
