If you are looking for a luxurious experience, surrounded by the peace and tranquillity of the African bush and far from the distractions of the modern world, where the only disturbance is the call of the magnificent fish eagle piercing the morning skies, Huntshoek Game Lodge is the place for you.
Perched high on the banks of the Fish River, our lodges Huntshoek and Huntsdrift offer a luxuriously relaxing getaway.
Huntshoek Lodge offers affordable accommodation which caters for all budgets and needs - from small intimate groups, mini conferences, team building weekends, couples or individuals...we welcome all!
Our thatched chalets are superbly comfortable with en-suite bathrooms and private decks.
Rooms are equipped with tea & coffee making facilities and hairdryers but there are no radios or televisions in order to keep your experience an authentic one!
Both lodges boast sparkling swimming pools, central lounge and dining areas, and decks overlooking rugged yet magnificent scenery.
Children over the age of 13 years are welcome.
Huntsdrift Lodge:
This intimate lodge is ideal for small groups. The open plan lounge, dining room, bar and kitchen area open out onto a central gathering point where guests can draw together around a crackling fire.
Huntsdrift offers:
• Self catering accommodation.
• Minimum of 4 – maximum of 10 guests.
• On request: catering options for mini conferencing and business meetings.
Huntshoek Lodge:
This, our flagship luxury lodge, consists of 5 large chalets each with a private deck and magnificent view of the Fish River below. The chalets consist of double rooms with en-suite bathrooms and open air showers for the adventurous.
One of the chalets offers a self catering option for 4 singles sharing or 2 couples. It consists of 2 double rooms en-suite with open plan kitchen/lounge area and a private deck. This chalet can be made available separately from the lodge for overnight or weekend accommodation.
Huntshoek offers:
• Minimum of 4 guests.
• Dinner, bed & breakfast.
• Light lunches on request.
To most South Africans, Grahamstown, just off the N2 between Port Elizabeth and Port Alfred, is the home of Rhodes University, and the host of one of the country’s longest running and major arts festivals - the National Arts Festival. Regarded as the heart of the tourist route known as 'Frontier Country', Grahamstown, along with towns like Alicedale, Sidbury, Riebeeck East, Hogsback and Alice, is part of one of the most diverse ecological regions in South Africa, with thousands of hectares devoted to nature and game conservation, and a history seeped in forts, conflict and strife. Grahamstown lies at the intersection of four very different climatic zones and its unpredictable weather is part of the excitement of the annual arts festival, which takes place in the middle of winter and sees thousands of people bundled in coats, gloves and scarves, descend on the city, whose broad tree-lined streets, gorgeous historical buildings, museums and plethora of churches - responsible for its “City of Saints” label - are a throw-back to the time when Grahamstown was the second largest city in the Cape. The Grahamstown Arts Festival, which during apartheid was a hive of political and protest theatre that never closed its doors to any race, colour, sex or creed, and imposes no censorship or artistic restraint on works presented at the festival, continues as a platform for experimentation. The Fringe still serves as a great place to spot talent as theatre is not subject to a selection committee, as is the main festival. Grahamstown maintains its small-town Victorian charm, its over 100 schools and university earning it a reputation as an academic city. Grahamstown is also a bird watchers delight. The Thomas Baines Nature Reserve, which lies just outside the city, and the Great Fish River Reserve, about 35 kilometres away, both provide a wide variety of bird life. The Oldenburgia hiking trail, Grahamstown’s own hiking trail, is a two-day circular trail starting and ending in the city, and there are another two shorter walking trails in town - the Dassie Krantz and Gowie Kloof.
Please note:
***No pets allowed.
***No smoking in rooms.
***Arrival time is from 14h00 - 17h00 (special arrangements upon request).
***An honesty bar available at Huntshoek Lodge only.
***Room service for self-catering is available on request only, at extra cost per day.

"Beautiful surroundings and accommodation. Huntshoek lodge was a pleasure to visit - will go again! The lodge really provides you with everything you need (even wood for the braai!). The showers are divine, the lovely fluffy beds are just what you need after a long dag of exploring the magnificent Eastern Cape, and the kitchen area is a treat with everything you could possibly need. Only problem: it's a little out of the way from Grahamstown - but if you are looking for a getaway from city life, definitely the place to be!"
