The luxury Bush Camp is situated at the edge of a wilderness area, 3 km from Main Camp. The camp comprises eight thatched African-style chalets, three luxury en-suite tents, a lapa in the form of the indigenous "camelthorn" pod, and a secluded swimming pool. Each chalet is equipped with a queen-size and a three-quarter bed, a minibar, a private safe for valuables, a kettle for that early morning cup of tea or coffee, and a telephone. For those who wish to feel the closeness of nature, the front 180-degree of canvas panelling may be rolled up, inviting visitors to enjoy their own bushveld vista. The extensive "camelthorn" shaped lapa encompasses the reception area and curio shop, a cosy lounge with a rustic indoor fireplace, an outdoor fireplace, and a kitchen and dining area, all overlooking a waterhole.

Main Camp was the original Hanssen family farmhouse, reconstructed as a lodge in 1993. All of the 10 double rooms are situated around a lush garden and overlook the open-fire entertainment area. The spacious new en-suite bedrooms each include two double beds, a mini-fridge to store your own drinks, a roof fan, safe, alarm system and telephone.
The Villa features two separate private suites, with two select en-suite bedrooms in the Main House, which together can accommodate groups of up to eight adults and four children. The graceful Main House consists of a chef-designed kitchen with wine and soft drink coolers, both gas and electrical cooking facilities, and an endless supply of ice from a double-door refrigerator. The living spaces are punctuated by a spacious lounge and dining area with an open wood-burning fireplace. There are two luxury en-suite bedrooms and the bathrooms have both an indoor shower and a spectacular outdoor bush shower, together with a beautiful bath-with-a-view. The Villa also boasts a magnificent infinity pool, surrounded on three sides by African red teak decking and a walkway to an open shaded "sala", incorporating a roof fan to stir the gentle breeze that crosses the adjoining waterhole. The two separate thatched suites are situated approximately 35 m to 50 m on either side of the Main House, and guests once again have the choice of either an indoor or a unique outdoor bush shower. Toilets and bidets accompany the baths, all with bush views. Fittingly, three of the four bedrooms have magnificent wheeled king-size beds for rolling out onto the terraces to sleep under the stars. All the bedrooms offer air-conditioning, high airy roofs with fans, heating facilities, Wi-Fi or dial-up Internet connection and ample work space.
