The Lodge

The Lodge

Tapologo is a farmhouse-style lodge consisting of three ensuite bedrooms, each of which offer beautiful river views of the Limpopo. The ground floor bedroom has a free-standing bath and outside patio, with the two first floor bedrooms each boasting their own balconies. All bathrooms feature indoor and outdoor showers, each with their unique vibrant colour, with monkeys looking on whilst you enjoy the cascade of water from the outdoor shower. There is metal baboon-mesh on all sliding doors, allowing a beautiful river breeze, and opening the room up to sounds of the African bush as you fall asleep.

The welcoming, Rhodesian teak-floored entrance hall leads you to the lounge area, with its unique blend of opulent materials and sumptuous textures. The lounge features a large wood-burning stove, for comfortable warmth in the cool winter evenings whilst snuggled in the armchair with a good book. Off the lounge is a beautiful guest bathroom, and a spacious study/yoga/meditation room facing the African bush and waterholes.

A spectacular bar with double volume height provides a light and airy atmosphere, in which to gather round and share stories and memories of your adventure, over a lovely selection of wines, gins, malt whiskys and amarula. Adjacent is Tapologo’s freestanding farmhouse-style kitchen, providing a warm and relaxed setting to share delicious meals or even just to sit around, enjoying a freshly brewed coffee and homemade cake.

A magnificent sweeping staircase leads to the first floor family and media room, equipped with a 4K projector where you can play games, view your photos, enjoy a good movie or just kick back and relax. The spacious balcony overlooking Tapologo's two waterholes offers a magnificent view over the African bush, with Lipadi Hill standing in the distance. Above the first floor, an outdoor staircase leads to a further large patio for stargazing or sleeping out at night.

Facing the Limpopo River is a cooling pool area on a magnificent river-deck, with an outside braai area and a private boma. To the front of the house the two waterholes can best be observed, with a drink of your choice, from either the lounge patio or the family room balcony.
