Lethabo Estate

Lanseria

Safari/Game Lodge, Self Catering

(12 rooms)

We have very different types of award winning accommodation. We also have a mobile Spa available which means, depending on the suite or room you choose, treatments can be enjoyed privately there or next to the river. We also offer riverside and evening picnics, Fire Dancing shows, private or for groups and lessons for fun. We offer Horse Whispering Join Up and Game drives at the nearby Lion and Rhino Park. We are close to many attractions and are super springboard for all sorts of Cradle adventures!

Our gorgeous, private, Willow Tree Hideaway is an organic, thatched boudoir, with a tree house feel. Set on a raised wooden deck under a huge Willow Tree and cocooned in dense reeds, the Willow Tree is on the banks of a quiet stretch of the fast flowing Crocodile River. Indoors a sunken Jacuzzi spa bath, surround sound stereo and decadently romantic furnishings complete with Persian carpets, silk cushions and a mosquito net, set the scene. Outdoors, a large, double hammock, fire brazier and beautifully set dining area (weather permitting) complete the picture.

The Rock Pool Lodge’s spacious Luxury Master bedroom is beautifully furnished and flows seamlessly out onto a wide wooden deck out to its own private rock swimming pool and Koi pond through huge glass and wood sliding doors. The en suite bathroom is separated from the bedroom by a large fish tank and glass ceiling through which you can gaze at the night sky whilst languishing in your double Jacuzzi spa bath.

The Kingfisher Suite is a beautiful gem, the ultimate romantic paradise, a private ‘green’ suite with surround sound and TV for movies, a Jacuzzi spa bath, candles and incense. It has a breathtaking view over the river and its own private picnic spot on the water’s edge with a hammock where you can relax dangling over the river.

The Rhenosterkop Room and Cathedral Suite is a spacious and charming suite in a private garden near the Stables. It has a bathroom as well as a freestanding Jacuzzi spa bath which opens out to the garden with views of the Rhensterkop Mountain. It has two fireplaces and a DSTV Lounge. Meals can be enjoyed at the riverside restaurant if required and picnics can be arranged at its own private riverside picnic spot.

Die Ezindala Farmhouse, which means recycled things in Zulu, has been furnished using old collectable, loved and recycled decor in line with our green and off Eskom’s grid, sustainable approach. This old colonial style Farmhouse is elegant and enchanting with six ensuite rooms, each of which has been themed with recycled treasures. Each room has a double bed and a single bed “flop spot’’ with ensuite showers with skylights. In all the rooms, the beds have stunning wraparound views of the conservancy through double French doors that lead out to their own private stoeps with table and chairs. Each room has a very private an intimate feel.

Spoil yourself for a weekend away in a beautiful setting!

Reviews of Lethabo Estate

"Lethabo Estate"

Reana Swart

"We had such a great time. The food was nice and on time. We will be back"

"LUSCIOUS LETHABO"

Dr. Johan Hattingh

"Luscious Lethabo

What an emotional, spiritual and culinary gem. The attention to detail was incredible and the personnel (owner: Lise, Chefs: Thomas and Chris) went beyond the boundaries of excellence to accommodate every whim.

The romantic picnic was detailed and personalized to the last dish. Served in the privacy of our own cottage made it so much more spectacular.

The Water likkewaan, geese and vast birdlife made this experience extraordinary.

The fire dancing by Lise was the pinnacle of professionalism combined with our adoration and total amazement.

HORSE WHISPERING:

He was called Skylark and she was Star

With soulful eyes they look afar

The horse whispering was soulfully profound

A connection of dimensions without any sound

To be mindful, to ground

To brush, to nurture, quite profound

The life lessons learnt in a little bit of time

Are lifetimes worth of classes sublime

So many lessons, so much to learn,

A few more hours with them you would yearn

This experience leaves you in awe

To think you can learn this from someone with a hoof and a pawÉ.."

"Brilliant!!!"

"Lethabo Estate was the best birthday surprise choice I'd made...I liaised with a friendly and accurate lady by the name of Lisa, it took one email and a same day response to get the surprise rolling

"What a hidden Gem... The service was great, the scenery, beautiful, even in winter. If you feel like breaking away from the hustle and bustle of JHB without travelling too far, this is the ideal place!

Don't forget the food. It was amazing. As for the picnic, its a must!"

"Excellent one night stay"

Samir Anand

"I needed to find a place near Joburg for a last minute night away for my wife and I. I booked the night on SafariNow and received immediate confirmation. This was followed up by a call from the venue to confirm details including arranging a wondering dinner picnic in our room. The venue is very beautiful on the banks of the river and even though it is winter, it has a lovely charm and atmosphere. The food and service were excellent and its a great romantic getaway for those looking for a rustic and charming venue like this. We definitely will be back! "

"Tranquility at its best"

Erika Rohland

"I was fortunate enough to have been a guest at Lethabo Estate this weekend. We were made to feel at home from the minute we arrived and have been spoiled and pampered by Lise and her team. We were in the Kingfisher Suite with a view of the river and spent the afternoon just sitting and admiring the view. Dinner was sublime and having dinner while sitting outside in a relaxed atmosphere was just what we needed. I can highly recommend Lethabo Estate and dinner is an absolute must! It is a place where you can recharge and feed your soul."

"Our honeymoon in the romantic River Tree Cottage was spectacular, owing particularly to the fantastic setting of the cottage and the superb yet discreet service by Lise, Paul, their talented chef and courteous staff. We're just sorry that we didn't spend enough time there and the stay was so brief. We definitely intend coming back for a longer stay and then we'll make a point of spending much more time enjoying the tranquility of the beautiful surroundings. Bravo, Lise and Paul."
