Lythwood Lodge reflects elegance and opulence in each of our rooms, and are proud to be able to offer:

Bar, An outside courtyard, Two patios, and a Large baronial dining room.

The baronial style dining room is approached directly from the bar and overlooks the rear garden with the backdrop of the magnificent indigenous forest.

The fabrics and décor are designed to create a warm and friendly atmosphere. The room has sufficient tables to accommodate 24 diners in comfort and style and for special occasions such as weddings up to 50 can be accommodated.

In winter a log fire in the large fireplace adds a sparkle to the gleaming silver and Swazi glassware on display and on warm summer evenings the French doors open on to the garden.

The crockery , cutlery and glassware have been specially chosen to provide the diner with that sense of opulence which accompanies the fine food and drink.

Our table is of an international standard. We offer cuisine of a Franco / South African style. Combining fresh South African ingredients, like ostrich, kingklip or bush pig, with delicate sauces and flavours inspired from French cuisine.

'Wine is one of the few direct links between nature and art.' To show our commitment and belief in South African wines we have developed a winelist giving a good representation of some of the finest estates the Cape has to offer.

To support this we entered our winelist in the 2000 South African Diners Club Winelist Awards, and won their prestigious Merit Award.

Our aim: Lythwood Lodge combines high calibre wines, with select food, in an elegant dining environment.

Together with lasting company we achieve a memorable & unique occasion.
