Gweda Lodge is a stunning holiday home nestled within the Mabalingwe Nature Reserve, near the town of Bela-Bela. The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering while the open-plan living area offers comfortable seating and a satellite TV. The living area opens onto a spacious deck with an outdoor dining area, boma and swimming pool. To make you relax even more we've added a chef to cook your food for you. The reserve is home to numerous wild animals and birdlife, including the Big Five.
My husband and I are keen travellers. We love the outdoors and enjoy other cultures a lot. We love to eat local food at the local restaurants and experience something of the culture of other nationalities. We have a collection of safari lodges in South Africa, all designed, built and decorated by ourselves. Our mission is to make your trip as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.
