Boekenhout Getaway

 
 

Description

The camp is nestled in the shadow of the Bobbejaansberg Mountain on the banks of the Boekenhout Spruit, which forms part of a natural and protected wetland. It forms part of a 1200-hectares conservancy, teaming with plains game and ideal for game drives, walking, running and mountain biking.

The game that the conservancy hosts includes impala, red hartebeest, waterbuck, blue wildebeest, kudu, blesbuck, zebra, giraffe, grey duiker and nyala. Predators in the area include caracal, civet, brown hyena, jackal and leopard. There are also warthog, porcupine, hedgehog and a variety of bird species.

The camp overlooks the wetland and is situated in a valley adjacent to the Dinokeng Big 5 Game Reserve.

Our rates are for accommodation only. Rooms are en-suite and luxurious and consist of bar fridges and coffee stations, while the entertainment area is set in manicured gardens overlooking a sparkling pool. The braai-kitchen area is communal and semi self-catering.

Situated a mere 90 km from Sandton and 40 km from Pretoria, it is less than an hour from South Africa's hub. It is the perfect destination for relaxation and enchantment with its varied typography, rivers and abundant wildlife.

Whether you are energetic or just want to lay by the pool, or love sitting around the fire listening to the sounds of the bush at night, this is the place to come and recharge. Close enough that you don’t spend your whole weekend travelling and far enough that you know you have left the city behind you.

Check-In  02:00 PM   Check-Out 10:00 AM

African Safari: The various game to be seen at the lodge are impala, red hartebeest, waterbuck, blue wildebeest, kudu, blesbuck, zebra, giraffe and grey duiker. Some other wildlife is caracal, civet, brown hyena, jackal and leopard.

Great

Its way fabulous, so enjoyed my stay there! They welcomed us so nicely and everything I needed was there, I'm sure gonna go once again! To all other people who'd like to go there, now that's the best place to be especially if you're looking for quiet time out. You sure are gonna enjoy this place! My boo was really impressed with the room and the lapa. Thumbs up!

Even though we enjoyed our stay at Boekenhout I do feel it is misrepresented. As firstly, it should not be called Boekenhout River Lodge but rather Boekenhout Getaway - even though it is situated on the river you need to walk around the electric fence to get to the river and it is so overrun with bullrushes so that you can't even see the river. Secondly, it is nothing like a lodge but rather an extension of the garage and hence should be changed to a guest house - so as not to misl ... more

It was very nice to get out of the concrete jungle and experience the land as God created it. We had a truly fantastic weekend. It is a nice lodge and we will definitely return.
