About The Elephant Sanctuary Hartbeespoort
Main Lodge:
Indo-African, nine bedded lodge. Your room shares a common wall with one of our elephant's stables - you will be amazed how quiet they actually are! A covered patio and lounge for relaxing/reading, and a secluded swimming pool in the forest a few steps from the lodge. Main deck overlooking the elephant boma, adjoining a curio shop with interesting mostly elephant related items, and fully licensed bar. Treehouse deck to observe elephants swimming. Main Lodge comprises four suites, with five rooms and nine beds.
Bush Lodge:
Bush Lodge is an African lodge, designed for outdoor living, with it's wide verandah that overlooks the lawned pool area alongside the bar/lounge. Its wooden decks, thatch bar and well-established trees make it an oasis within the bushveld. The lodge has been designed to make our guests feel relaxed, comfortable and welcome. Should your group be taking over the entire lodge, you will find it is like having your own magical home with all the suites feeding out onto the main living area. The Lodge is situated approximately 100 metres from the Main Lodge and has its own bar, thatched lounge area and swimming pool. The rooms are tastefully appointed, with subtle bushveld browns and softer cream tones and sumptuously dressed beds.
