The lodge features four standalone cottages and two family cottages, each designed to blend into the landscape. Built from local stone and cedar, with thatched roofs, they exude rustic charm while offering modern comfort. Inside, spacious bedrooms with open fireplaces create a cozy atmosphere, while en-suite bathrooms boast bathtubs and showers with panoramic views. Each cottage has a private veranda, perfect for al fresco dining or unwinding with uninterrupted vistas of the conservancy. The family cottages provide interconnected living spaces, ideal for multi-generational travelers seeking both intimacy and shared experiences.
