Come and stay in a safe haven during these stressing times, hide away from it all. Forest Creek nestles in a gorge of the Steenkampsburg Mountains, which is the end of the Drakensberg Mountain range. Set in a Private Nature Reserve of the Mpumalanga Escarpment. The gorge is softened only by a blanket of shrubs and trees which have grown in this malaria-free zone over millennia.
(A question often asked is where are you? Our reply is, if one was in Dullstroom and "jumped off the mountain", you would land in our gorge. Dullstroom is 60km and Lydenburg is 35km away)
It is only when one gets to the gate of Forest Creek Lodge that the rock-strewn grassland is left behind, one climbs up, and up, and enter this little enchanted world. This winter come and enjoy some good food and wine snuggled in front of our log fireplaces, and go home feeling indulged.
Historical influence is evident everywhere in Mpumalanga, from the legendary King Solomon and Queen Sheba to the ancient floating villages of Chrissiesmeer.
At Forest Creek one can see the remains of ancient villages, home to Africa's earliest peoples. They can be found everywhere, by your lodge suite, along the Hiking trails, and by the stream...
On this magnificent piece of land we hope we have catered for everyone, from Luxury Guest Suites at the main lodge, to the Forest Cottage, Bee Eater, The Beach Cottage & Sunbird self-catering options. During the cooler months, come and enjoy the Big Fireplace in the Lodge Lounge. There are hiking trails along the stream under the canopy of trees. Please note: to ensure your privacy, Lodge Suites are not adjoined to the main lodge, requiring a short walk to the communal lodge areas.
Forest Creek Lodge is a haven for honeymooners - celebrating your first, fifth or fiftieth, you will be inspired by the romance of this incredibly exclusive, private place.
A wonder for the Nature lover!
Activities:
Bush Bath - Set in a secluded spot, enjoy a 'Bath' in the bush, with lots of bubbles and champagne under the moonlight and stars.
Hiking - Marked trails through the forest, along the stream on the way to the Waterfall.
Bird Watching - We have a prolific variety of uncommon species of birds that can be seen, including a resident pair of Black Eagles.
Clay Pigeon Shooting - An interesting and testing range for the novice and experienced shooters.
Star gazing platform - To view the night sky
