&Beyond Phinda Zuka Lodge

Overview

&Beyond Phinda Zuka Lodge is a home away from home. It is an intimate safari retreat situated amongst densely wooded hills studded with aloes overlooking a private (and very popular) waterhole.

Each of their four cottages is coolly decorated in contemporary style and has its own private sitting area as well as a rather wonderful circular bath chamber, complete with indoor and outdoor showers.

Everything you need is right within reach - your personal game ranger and game drive vehicle, an interactive kitchen with a dedicated chef, a butler to see to your daily needs, a comfortable library with Internet access and TV for the children, a sitting room with a fireplace for evening chats, your own swimming pool and even a private watering hole for your own exclusive wildlife encounters. With no set timetable or routine, savour the wonders of the bush at your own pace and leisure.

Dine socially in the lodge’s Boma where you get a chance to swap stories and share photos from your day’s game drive. If you fancy something different and want a night with just your loved ones, then request to dine in the bush. It’s incredibly private and is a great way to top off a fantastic days exploring.

Just four thatched Zululand bush cottages set 15 metres apart, featuring verandas overlooking a busy waterhole. Air-conditioned bedrooms have fans and en-suite bathrooms, with a circular stone bath chamber, shower, separate W.C and twin hand basins.
