And just like travellers of old, Melozhori is a natural place to pause on your journey through the beautiful and famous 'Garden Route'. This predator free game reserve is set on a breathtaking panoramic landscape with uninterrupted views and home to unique mix of indigenous fauna and flora.

The rambling thatched lodge sits comfortably on the slopes above a picturesque dam looking south-west towards the seemingly never ending folds of blue mountains. Entering the lodge, the most characteristic smell of Africa greets you - open thatch. The vast thatch roof that spans the magnificent lounge and dining area and the bedrooms to either side. Through glass doors, your eye is led over the timber deck and rim-flow pool, onto the mountains beyond; you feel instantly at ease. Every staff member is part of our family, committed to your comfort and relaxation, More

Pet-friendly retreat close to nature (and Cape Town)

We had a great weekend at Melozhori - but we could have done with an extra 2 days to totally unwind. The self-catering accommodation was more than adequate for the 4 adults (and 2 border collies), with all essentials on-site: Nespresso, kettle, microwave, air-conditioning, loads...More
