Romantic Bliss at a Private African Getaway – Tanamera Lodge

Nestled on the malaria free slopes of the Sabie River Valley, Tanamera Lodge is a four-star lodge offering luxurious hospitality with magnificent views over the forests and the Sabie River.

The cosy and tastefully decorated main lodge with its wooden deck and rim flow pool, dining room, lounge and comfortable bar, are great places to relax and socialise.

The Lodge serves breakfast and dinner, where the menu changes daily, and vegetarian, halal, and other dietary options are available, with prior notice.

Guests may choose to dine on the romantic candle lit deck which overlooks the pool and the river, or may prefer to dine privately in their own chalets where their meals will be served.

Accommodation at Tanamera Lodge

The Lodge offers seven charming secluded thatched chalets surrounded by indigenous bush and views of the forest and the river.

Each chalet has a king size bed, a large stone bath, a waterfall shower, tea/coffee facilities, a fan, a heater and draped mosquito nets for ambiance. For chilly nights there is an open log fire place in the honeymoon chalets and cosy wood burning stoves in the luxury chalets, all have a private wooden deck with its own plunge pool.

All chalets are within walking distance of the main lodge but have stairs to access them, which means they are not wheel chair accessible.

Activities

Being centrally located, guests are able to enjoy all the natural sights that the lowveld has to offer. Being a birder’s paradise, there are many scenic walks to enjoy, and The Kruger National Park’s Phabeni Gate is a short thirty-minute drive away.

In addition, nearby activities include white water rafting, abseiling, private guided safari tours, quad biking, tubing and an elephant sanctuary.

There are several day spas in the area and arrangements may be made for a local therapist to treat guests in the privacy of their own chalets.

This romantic getaway is perfect for an intimate wedding, a honeymoon, or just a private time away from it all.

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!
