The choice of accommodation, as well as the décor that tastefully reflects its rich Karoo background, have combined to create a unique tranquil oasis. Accommodation consists of a total of 12 bedrooms, split amongst the Nyala Valley Safari Tents, the original Hunters Lodge, the Farmhouse and a tented Bush Camp. Guests may also choose between full board or self-catering service, or even a combination of both.
The luxuriously appointed en-suite Nyala Valley Safari Tents overlook the surrounding Nyala Valley and have private wooden viewing decks, offering uninterrupted views of the valley below. Although the Safari Tents are only 150m from the main Lodge, they blend seamlessly into the surrounding vegetation, creating a sense of absolute privacy and tranquility.
The original Hunters Lodge comprises 3 upmarket, en-suite bedrooms with views of the lodge gardens, boma and the rock pool. The lodge also features an indoor barbeque area and TV Lounge, a bar, dining area for 10, and pool table for evening entertainment.
The original Farmhouse, dating back to the late 1800’s, with its wraparound verandah and comfortable farm style inspired décor, has been divided into two self-catering units. Each unit offers 2 bedrooms (1 with double and 1 with 2 single beds), living room, dining area and fully equipped kitchen.
The Bush Camp site, consisting of two permanent en-suite tented accommodation, as well as a tented kitchen / dining area, is situated roughly 1.5km from the main lodge, lends an authentic Safari air to Koffylaagte for the true bush enthusiast.
The full board guests dine in the hunting lodge, the lodge veranda or at the boma, situated a few meters from the lodge and farmhouse, is the perfect setting for barbeques; usually frequented by an unexpected visit by some of the wildlife, on their way down to the nearby watering hole.
Koffylaagte Game Lodge & Tented Camp, literally translates as “Coffee Hollow” and owes its name to its colourful history as the resting place of the early settler traders. This pristine reserve, which is dedicated to wildlife management and breeding programmes, has been stripped of all remnants related to its early farming days and has been converted back to its magnificent fauna and flora, becoming a place to rest your mind, body and soul, just as in the days of the early settlers.
With an abundance of wild life, including white rhino, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, some 22 species of South African antelopes as well as other mammals such as warthog, bush pig, mongoose, fox, porcupine, jackal, meerkat and primates such as baboon and vervet monkey, a large variety of birds, including the bird of preys such as the majestic black eagle and a magnificent Karoo flora resembling a natural succulent garden with aloes, euphorbia, spekboom, as well as the protected Cycad and Elephant’s Foot, Koffylaagte presents a rich and rewarding visual feast in its 1800 hectare reserve.
