Lily Pond Country Lodge
Overview
If you are looking for some peace and quiet, a creative kitchen and friendly but unobtrusive staff, then Lily Pond Country Lodge is just what you are looking for.
Expect nature in abundance with excellent walking trails around Nature's Valley. Lily Pond is nestled on the edge of the serene indigenous Tsitsikamma National Park forests, on the eastside of the famous Garden Route. It offers a tranquil retreat for even the most intrepid city slicker. It is the perfect synergy of modern “Afro-Zen” Africa, infused with Mexican and Tuscan architectural influences, set on the banks of the beautiful lily ponds. While away the day on beautiful wooden decks, watching the myriad bird species come and go. Try the excellent kitchen with a daily changing, ever-evolving menu with even a vegetarian option, focusing on fresh, local, seasonal ingredients, simply cooked and beautifully presented. Sit back and unplug or take a jaunt on the local meander to discover the Tsitsikamma National Park next door or Nature's Valley lagoon and beach only a 7 minutes' drive. Free and safe parking.
