Ihlozi Bush Lodge — experience the beauty of the bush this holiday season

Ihlozi Bush Lodge

In May of 2024, Melvain Donyes and his wife, Lyn, took ownership of Ihlozi Bush Lodge. This luxury four-star bush lodge situated within the exclusive Kuleni Nature Conservancy offers travellers the ultimate bush getaway this summer. Surrounded by two hundred hectares of pristine Indigenous bush, guests can relax and experience peace in one of the lodge’s luxury rooms. With their luxury accommodation, catering, amenities for comfort, and on-site and nearby activities, Ihlozi Bush Lodge is the place to be this summer.      

Experience the beauty of the bush this summer at Ihlozi Bush Lodge 

Relaxation this summer starts the moment guests walk through the two large wooden doors that lead into the lodge. Its open-plan living area consists of a fully fitted kitchen, dining area and lounge, ensuring a comfortable stay. It is worth noting that all these areas are wheelchair accessible.   

The main living area opens onto a deck. There, guests can sit back and relax in the outdoor lounge, enjoy a meal at the dining table, or partake in a traditional South African braai in the braai area. In the garden, a walkway lights up at night, leading guests to the swimming pool, with a second bar, lounge area, and two en-suite bathrooms.  

At Ihlozi Bush Lodge, guests can book one of their four air-conditioned bedrooms. Affectionately named Uthando, Ukholo, Ukuthula, and Themba, which translate to love, faith, peace, and hope, the rooms contain either a King or Queen-size bed, an en-suite bathroom and an outdoor shower. A new accommodation option at the lodge, which guests can enjoy, is booking the entire lodge! Perfect for families, the lodge accommodates eight adults and two children for a self-catering stay or book the chalet for four adults and four children, but it might be a bit tight. 

Ihlozi offers a range of amenities to ensure a comfortable stay for its guests this summer. Free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, an outdoor braai and grills, a fully equipped kitchen, housekeeping, a pool, outdoor bathtubs, a TV, projectors, and complete privacy. Catering is also available for guests, offering breakfast in addition to frozen meals for purchase.    

Activities and dining  

Summer getaways are made unforgettable at Ihlozi Bush Lodge with a range of activities both on-site and nearby. Within the two hundred hectares of land where the lodge is situated, there are around twenty kilometres of marked walking and cycling trails, and a dam where birdlife flourishes. Nearby, guests can dine at Olive Branch, a personal favourite of Ihlozi, or Delish.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
