Accommodation Venue - Forest Creek Lodge ( Game Lodges & Resorts Accommodation in Dullstroom / Mpumalanga/ South Africa )
It is only when one gets to the gate of Forest Creek Lodge
that the rock-strewn grassland is left behind, one climbs up, up and up,
almost into a wall of cliffs, and enter this little enchanted world.
The mystique of the place is tangible. A strong feeling of peace will
overwhelm you.
On this magnificent piece of land we hope we have catered for everyone, from
Luxury guest suites at the main lodge to a self-catering cottage. There are
hiking trails along the stream under the canopy of trees. Treat yourself to
an hour or two of relaxation in our Forest Spa.
Forest Creek Lodge is a haven for honeymooners - celebrating your first,
fifth or fiftieth, you will be inspired by the romance of this incredibly
exclusive, private place.
For the International traveler Forest Creek Lodge is an ideal place to relax
and unwind after a long flight - a mere 130 kms to the Kruger National Park,
enjoy the treatments in the private Forest Spa, or just enjoy the
tranquility of the bush.
At Forest Creek you will dine on a four-course d hôte dinner served in our
candle lit dining room (Table d'hôte is a French phrase that literally
means "host's table".), a choice of five-breakfast menus. We have a small
menu for lunch.
Bird watching is amazing; there are many rare species here. A question often
asked is "Where are you?" The only way we can explain this is to say, if you
were in Dullstroom and jumped off the mountain, you would land in our gorge
(Box canyon).
