Thunzi Stargazing Dome

Romantic Getaway

Nestled within the lush Maitland Forest, you’ll find a luxury once-in-a-lifetime stargazing experience. A meandering boardwalk leads you onto a spacious deck where you will discover Thunzi’s romantic dome with distinct finishes and so much more…

Thunzi forest lodge and hot tubs has the first-ever dome, consisting of 3 pods – all designed for stargazing! The pods include a bedroom, a self-catering kitchen, and a bathroom. 

Relax in the wood-fired hot tub while taking in the views of the wetlands and surroundings. Or have a luxury African bush braai while watching the sunset.

Thunzi forest chalets and hot tubs are located in the tranquil sanctuary of coastal forest and African bush and offer country-style self-catering accommodation 30 km from the centre of Port-Elizabeth at the start of the Garden Route.

This dome is anything but ordinary!
