Great place . The lodge with a main lounge and rooms separate by decks give excellent way of life. We were 6 adults and we booked the unit. Everyone thought it was paradise.

This is a really unique establishment, with a delightful personal feel but the comfort and thoughtful finishes of a top class lodge. Definitely worth a return visit. Excellent value for money.

It was a fantastic experience and time to stay in this fabulous location. The food was great, the environment wonderful and all people were more than friendly.
Many thanks and greetings to Julian and his team. We are looking forward to a 2nd visit, probably in 2008.....
Best wishes from Tanja and Stefan

A bit about this place
Bushwillow is a stylish, unique bush lodge, situated in 150 hectares of beautiful indigenous sand forest. The lodge is fully serviced and offers a bush experience where the only disturbance will be that of the game visiting the lodges’ own small waterhole. Guests may enjoy walks on the self-guided walking trails where they are likely to have encounters with zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, nyala, warthogs and other ‘safe’ game. The abundance of bird life and the variety of trees and other flora makes for a great African experience but with the luxury and comforts of a 4-star graded establishment. Guests may either cater for themselves or be spoilt with leisurely breakfasts and first-class evening meals.
Bushwillow is ideally situated for visitors exploring the splendour of The Elephant Coast, KwaZulu Natal. Located just 16km from Hluhluwe town on the way towards Sodwana Bay, it also proves a perfect destination for a visit to the beach.
Accommodation:
Bushwillow consists of three exceptional quality, timber-framed structures cleverly hidden in the bush, which offer peace and solitude. Wooden walkways conveniently link the bedroom suites to the central facility.
The central facility comprises an open plan, fully equipped solid wood kitchen with marble worktops. The spacious and tastefully decorated lounge and dining area with foldaway doors, opens out onto the large deck area, where guests can cool off in the pool or lie on the sun loungers soaking up the warm African sunlight. In the evening, relax and unwind whilst listening to the nocturnal bush sounds. This guest area is intimate as there are never more than 6 guests there at any one time.
The king-sized en-suite has an extra length bed and with its floor to ceiling sliding windows and doors guests feel as if they are sleeping outside. The bathroom is spacious with hand made twin basins set in a beautiful and original, solid wood vanity. The frameless shower and freestanding cast iron bath makes for a tasteful mixture of old and new. Guests can relax in a candlelit bath as they soak up the peace and tranquillity whilst looking out onto the bushveld. Percale sheets, mohair blankets and quality towels ensure guest comfort. The suites own small private deck area allows guests to sit outdoors and enjoy an early morning cup of tea or a quiet evening sundowner.
The twin bedded en-suite rooms are separated by a small lounge area. These beds can also be converted to king-size, if required. The style of the rooms and the bathrooms otherwise offer the same experience as the king-sized bedroom. The larger deck area on this unit also provides an ideal place for privacy and game spotting. Especially suitable for small family groups.
ALL BEDROOMS HAVE AIR-CONDITIONING.
Cuisine:
Our chef prepares 3-course evening meals in full view of the guests according to the guests liking, suiting any palate. Simplistic dining with a very personalised touch. A selection of wines and other beverages are available. Breakfast is a casual affair and can be taken indoors or outdoors according to weather conditions. Continental or full English breakfast can be provided, according to guest wishes. Guests may choose to take a late breakfast after an early morning game drive, turning breakfast into brunch.
Bushwillow enjoys a 4-star status (TGCSA) and has been graded by AA as superior quality accommodation.
Bushwillow is fully serviced and makes for both a great bush and beach experience.
Just one of our many guest comments: 'Wow! We spent 4 days here and have been spoilt rotten. This stay totally exceeded our expectations. Absolutely fantastic staff and luxury accommodation. The 4-star rating gives it no justice - it should be 6-star!'
