Hornbill Self-Catering Chalet
- Self-Catering with Hot tub -

Getaway for families

Tucked away in the heart of nature, Hornbill Chalet is a charming two-bedroom self-catering retreat, perfect for families or friends looking to relax, reconnect and enjoy the tranquillity of the bush.

The chalet features a welcoming open-plan living area with a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge and dining space. An indoor gas fireplace adds warmth and a cosy atmosphere on cooler evenings, with carbon monoxide detectors installed for added peace of mind.

Step outside onto your private balcony and soak up the beautiful views of the indigenous forest and peaceful wetlands.

For those who love spending time outdoors, Hornbill has two wonderful entertainment areas. A secluded forest boma provides the perfect setting for evenings around the fire, while a second deck closer to the chalet offers comfortable seating, a Weber braai and a family-sized wood-fired hot tub.

The chalet also features a full bathroom with a bathtub and separate shower.

Sleeps 4: One queen-size bed in the main bedroom and two single beds in the second bedroom.

Whether you’re enjoying a leisurely braai, relaxing in the hot tub or curling up beside the fireplace, Hornbill Chalet is all about slowing down, enjoying nature and making special memories together.

Your little piece of paradise in the heart of the forest.
