Thunzi Bush Lodge, • Africa Luxury Escapes

Overview

Thunzi in isiXhosa means “in the shade,” describing a typical lazy afternoon in the forest valley.

This tranquil sanctuary of coastal forest can be found 20 minutes West of Port Elizabeth and is nestled at the base of a 44 hectare private valley overlooking a pristine and lush river wetland.

Luxury 4* Self-catering Chalets are fully equipped and have their own private boma’s nestled under a milkwood/acacia tree in the indigenous forest where family and friends can gather and enjoy a few drinks and braai (barbeque). Added extras for your convenience include various DSTV select, dressing gowns, air-conditioning, tea/coffee amenities, mini chocolates, heating, hair dryer, daily housekeeping service and laundry facilities. There is a free Wi-Fi hotspot at the reception area and cellphone reception throughout the estate.

Guests can enjoy bird watching, bass fishing, forest walks, spa treatments as well as beach walks and sand boarding at the Maitland Beach only 3km from Thunzi. Gourmet picnics are on offer Tuesdays to Sundays and you don’t have to be an overnight guest to enjoy this – day visitors more than are welcome!
