About Melozhori Private Game Reserve Lodge

Melozhori Private Game Reserve Lodge offers accommodation in the picturesque Cape folded mountains, adjacent to the tiny hamlet of Stormsvlei in the verdant Overberg district of the Western Cape and just under 200kms from Cape Town.

This predator free game reserve is set on a breathtaking panoramic landscape with uninterrupted views and home to unique mix of indigenous fauna and flora. Each and every one of our passionate staff members will ensure you have a memorable stay, whether you just want to relax and unwind from the hustle and bustle of the city or enjoy a scenic game drive, relaxed walk with one of our specialist guides.

Accommodation

Melozhori Private Game Reserve Lodge is a rambling thatched lodge that sits comfortably on the slopes above a picturesque dam looking south-west towards the seemingly never ending folds of blue mountains. Entering the lodge, the most characteristic smell of Africa greets you - open thatch.

The vast thatch roof that spans the magnificent lounge and dining area and the bedrooms to either side. Through glass doors, your eye is led over the timber deck and rim-flow pool, onto the mountains beyond; you feel instantly at ease.

Four generous en-suite bedrooms are furnished with King-size beds, and some with fireplaces, flow onto private decks, all overlooking the dam and valley beyond. There are two inside suites and two outside suites. The bathrooms are fitted with basin, toilet, shower or bath or both.

Trees attract natural life to the fringes of the homestead; rise early and you're likely to be sharing the view with giraffes and browsing zebras. Being a family home, the environment is completely safe for children, who will delight in the open spaces and spotting game from our open game-drive vehicle.

Every staff member is part of our family, committed to your comfort and relaxation, understanding that rare quality of unobtrusive service. While you're at Melozhori, it's your home too. Whether snuggled in the deep couches round the roaring log fire, or under an umbrella of stars alongside the fire pit on a balmy summer evening, Melozhori's is a home for all seasons.
