The answer lies in the location

The location of our affordable luxury lodge enables visitors to cut down on their travel expenses.

The North West Province is one of the fasted growing provinces in South Africa. The province has an excellent infrastructure including roads, airports, hospitals and schools, lower cost for electricity and water, as well as an affordable labor pool of skilled and unskilled workers. These are all factors influencing the rates you pay when going on holiday.

Since Thaba Phuti is situated in an area known to be one of South Africa's tourist hotspots, it is also possible for us to offer our guests numerous activities at a fraction of the cost of other international holiday destinations.

Our affordable luxury lodge is surrounded with sport clubs, 4x4 trails, golf courses, extreme sports activity venues, and cultural heritage sites. We can therefore focus on our core business while outsourcing activities to companies, which are specialists in their different fields. Our overhead costs are kept to a minimum and you, our valued guest, can enjoy all the activities at an affordable price.

But don't take our word for this, have a look at some of the comments made by guests who stayed at our affordable luxury lodge:
