Enjoy the Olifants river and ultimate tranquillity like you have never experienced before!
Max and Maris van Waasdijk realized their dream of owning and managing a lodge. Paradise River lodge is located on the banks of the mighty and ever-flowing Olifants River. This makes it the perfect place to relax and get away from the daily grid! enjoy a delicious cold drink along the river or take a refreshing dip in the beautiful swimming pool.
The lodge has a total of 6 bedrooms: 3 chalets with 2 bedrooms each, able to accommodate 12 guests. One of the chalets has his own kitchen and the rooms are connected making it ideal for families. There are serveral braai areas, enabling guests to end their day beside a boma fire or with a braai in privacy, while the Thick-tailed Bushbabies jump through the trees. The lodge offers self-catering, but also possible to book including braai, potjie and/or brerakfast.
We are located in Ndlovumzi Nature Reserve, which is not a big 5 area. This is ideal for a nice early morning walk or run without the dangers. It is also possible to enjoy the flora and fauna in the area by means of a game drive or bush walk. Max is an excellent guide, who specializes mainly in birdlife. Maris has left the nursing proffession begind to ensure that the guests have everything they need. Everyone is personally welcomed on arrival with a complimentary bottle of our delicious house wine.
Let yourself be pampered during a romantic potjie day while at your own cottage and swimming pool.
Be surprised by all the beauty Paradise River lodge has to offer!
