The Chalets
The quaint B & B and Self-Catering chalets are very secluded and each of them has a private deck overlooking the Sandrift River Gorge and Forest Plantations. Order a 3-course dinner braai from the Fernery, or enjoy a four course dinner at the Lodge Restaurant, and enjoy the tranquility of this magnificent setting at your leisure.
