Bush break @ Kuzuko Lodge

Sunet van der Merwe on 19 August 2018
As June was a crazy month packing up my life and moving down to the Eastern Cape, I was in need of a little down time.

With uninterrupted views of the Winterberg mountains, and only 2 hours away from Port Elizabeth situated in the Addo Elephant National park, Kuzuko Lodge was the perfect choice for my little breakaway.

What I liked about it was the casual atmosphere and the staff making you feel right at home from the minute you arrive.

As soon as you go outside and stand on the deck, your view is over the mountains, valley and never-ending expanse of the Karoo, and you will soon understand exactly why it’s called the ‘Place of Glory’.

The luxury chalets offer a private deck to watch those opulent sunsets, a lounge area with a sofa bed and satellite TV and a beautiful bathroom with a shower and bath to relax in.

The deck, bar and restaurant offer stunning views and being a foodie, I can honestly say that you will enjoy the fantastic 5 Star authentic Karoo cuisine.

Nature lovers… You can explore caves, bird watching, go on a guided nature walks, see the Big 5 on the morning and night safari’s, try your hand at fly fishing and even the kids are entertained with a jungle gym, and other indoor and outdoor activities.

Corporates … If business is your aim and you are looking for a venue to host your next conference, then make use of their state of the art conference facilities with a beautiful backdrop of the Winterberg mountains. They offer day conference packages and can accommodate from 16 to 48 people, depending on the layout of seats.

They can also assist with team building and can arrange events like “Amazing Kuzuko Race “, “Potjieos Cook off’ , “4 x 4 courses”, “ 4 x 4 trials “, “Wild fly fishing” or Themed dinners.

Love is in the air…. If it’s romance you are after, why not book a couples massage in the on-site spa, or enjoy a champagne breakfast in the bush after a morning game drive, or even a romantic candlelit dinner outside your room, on your private deck. Just ask the staff and they will gladly assist.

Tying the knot… Kuzuko Lodge offers you the perfect venue to seal your love and commitment to one another. With traditional South African hospitality, blended with Karoo romance, you will be blessed with a beautiful wedding at one of the most intimate settings and breathtaking locations. They understand how important and special this day is to you, and they will make your dream come true.
