About The Fernery Lodge & Chalets

The Fernery Lodge & Chalets - naturally stunning, created luxury. Imagine sitting above a 30-metre waterfall, with breathtaking views of a river gorge and the wild Indian Ocean. This is the setting of The Fernery Lodge & Chalets. It is hard to decide whether to admire the incredible surroundings from the Lodge's deck area with the swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna and gym, or to enjoy it from any one of the six deluxe suites.

Accommodation

The Suites
At The Fernery Lodge & Chalets each suite is tastefully decorated and every effort has been made to ensure our guests' comfort, from DSTV and an en-suite bathroom to a private deck with beautiful views. For complete opulence, try The Honeymoon Suite with its luxurious spa bath. Children are welcome in the Chalets, but regrettably no children under the age of 12 years are permitted in the Lodge and dinner restaurant due to its ambiance.

The Chalets - beautiful and secluded
Experience the Tsitsikmma as if you were the first to discover it. There are both B&B and self catering chalets, each beautifully appointed and privately located, so you can enjoy a peaceful paradise experience. Relax in nature and treat your soul to views of mystical waterfalls, rock pools and the vast Indian Ocean.

The B&B chalets sleep 2 in either twin or king size luxury, whereas the self catering chalets sleep 4 and have fully equipped kitchenettes, making them ideal for families - or choose one of the plush twin chalets (ideal for 2 couples) which offer en-suite bathrooms and private lounges, fully equipped kitchen and a private plunge pool on the deck.

All the chalets are beautifully decorated and each chalet has a unique theme inspired by its magnificent surroundings. Enjoy the tranquility of the mountains and forests from the privacy of the sheltered deck or curl up in front of the cosy ceramic fireplace with a good book. End off the evening with a barbecue on your deck - simply arrange beforehand and you will be provided with everything from the ingredients to the Weber.

Breakfast & Dining

At the end of a tough day relaxing, guests can wander through our wine cellar and select a bottle of wine before making their way to the Cellar Dining Room for excellent cuisine and an equally enjoyable atmosphere.

All meals are prepared in the Lodge kitchen and served in the dining room or on the decks in fine weather. Picnics and barbeques are a speciality and can be ordered for delivery to your chalet or premium suite.

Lunch
An a la Carte lunch menu is available at the Lodge from 12h30 to 15h00.

Dinner
An a la Carte dinner menu is served in the Lodge dining room from 18h00 to 21h00.

Braai / Barbecue
A three course meat, fish or vegetable braai can be ordered for delivery to your chalet or premium suite, ready to cook and enjoy on your private deck.

Picnics
A Fernery picnic is a delicious spread that can be ordered from the Reception staff and will be delivered for you to any one of our beautifully positioned decks or to your own chalet. There is also the option of an easy to carry Active Pack that can be easily taken on a hike or cycle.

ADDITIONAL FACILITIES

An entertainment area with dart board, satellite television and sauna, as well as a swimming pool, is at the guests disposal.
