Enjoyable stay
The lodge and accommodation was very nice. The price was a bit expensive. But we enjoyed the stay very much.

Description
Forest Creek nestles in a gorge of the Steinkampburg mountains. It is only when one gets to the gate of Forest Creek Lodge that the rock-strewn grassland is left behind, one climbs up, up and up, and enter this little enchanted world. The mystique of the place is tangible. A strong feeling of peace will overwhelm you. A question often asked is "Where are you?" Our reply is if one were in Dullstroom and "jumped off the mountain", you would land in our gorge. Bird watching is amazing; there are many rare species here. Some of the more exotic species of interest to birdwatchers, such as the Knysna lourie, cinnamon dove, grey cuckoo shrike, blue mantled flycatcher, black eagle and the ultimate "tick", the narina trogon, This interzonal habitat allows tree enthusiasts the opportunity of identifying many uncommon species of trees, shrubs, orchids and ferns. At Forest Creek you will dine on a four-course d hôte dinner served in our candle lit dining room (Table d'hôte is a French phrase that literally means "host's table".), a choice of five-breakfast menus. For the International traveller Forest Creek Lodge is an ideal place to relax and unwind after a long flight - a mere 130 km to the Kruger National Park, enjoy the treatments in the private Forest Spa, or just enjoy the tranquility of the bush. ACTIVITIES BUSH BATH - Set in a secluded spot, enjoy a 'Bath' in the bush, with lots of bubbles and champagne under the moonlight and stars. FOREST SPA - Indulge yourself in our private Spa overlooking the gorge, go home feeling relaxed and stress free. GAZEBO ROMANTIC PRIVATE DINNER - Spoil your loved one, and request this romantic setting for a totally private candle lit dinner under the gazebo. Many a proposal of marriage has been accepted in this lovely setting! HIKERS PICNIC - A picnic packed in a rucksack, get ready to hike to the waterfall! LAZY PICNIC - A picnic set out for you in a private spot, with champagne, a good one for the romantic at heart. HIKING - Marked trails through the forest, along the stream, (where in summer you can see the tiny tree Orchids, ferns and flowers, and fungi). BIRD WATCHING - We have a prolific variety of uncommon species of Birds that can be seen, including a resident pair of Black Eagles. We have a Forest Creek bird list. HORSE RIDING - 4km down the hill, book a ride in our scenic valley. CLAY PIGEON SHOOTING - An interesting and testing range for the novice and experienced shortlists. GAME DRIVES - Game drives are available by prior arrangement only, on a neighbouring property 15kms away.Species to view are: White Rhino, Buffalo, Giraffe, Kudu, Eland, Zebra, Waterbuck, Bush buck, Nyala, Blue Wildebeest, Reedbuck, Blesbok, Hartebeests, Impala, Warthog, Duiker.Please note that you must drive yourself to the farm. The ranch manager in a game viewing vehicle will then guide you. Picnic's are available from Forest Creek. Please note that the last 4kms of dirt road require a high clearance vehicle, however we can collect you at the bottom of the hill and leave your vehicle in a safe place. Most vehicles come up the hill, but please don't bring a new BMW or Mercedes. Transfer costs per trip - R75.00 per vehicle.
