Property Location
Seamlessly blending into the surrounding landscape, Kichaka Lodge is a five-star destination built from natural stone and thatch. The lodge underwent extensive reconstruction and furnishing in 2020. It benefits from a prime location directly on the N2 National Road between Port Elizabeth and Grahamstown. Lalibela is easily accessible by road, situated only one hour (90 km) from Port Elizabeth, making it an ideal safari destination.
Rooms
The ten suites are designed with the same luxurious style as the main lodge. The bathrooms feature the finest fittings, including oversized baths, spacious showers, and dual basins for added indulgence. Each suite includes a private deck equipped with a heated plunge pool and an outdoor shower. The suites have been strategically placed to enhance the feeling of being fully immersed in the bush.
Amenities
A rim-flow swimming pool located on the edge of the main deck seamlessly merges with a spacious waterhole. The thoughtfully designed spa, situated above the waterhole, features floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows that offer views of the abundant wildlife that frequents the water source. The well-equipped gym provides ample space for those looking to exercise and stay fit.
Dining
A welcoming cocktail bar and lounge area open onto the viewing deck, offering plenty of opportunities to take in the stunning surroundings. The elegantly appointed dining room, along with outdoor dining options on the spacious main deck, provides versatility for meals. On clear evenings, guests can enjoy fireside dinners in the inviting atmosphere of a boma, weather permitting. The upstairs library area offers a private retreat with comfortable seating and various cozy corners perfect for curling up with a book.
