Kokobela Lodge in Phalaborwa, Limpopo (original) (raw)

Kokobela Lodge is a highly recommended property for self catering in Phalaborwa for up to 8 guests visiting the Valley of the Olifants region.

About Kokobela Lodge

The luxury thatched guest house is cleverly positioned to the side of the 7th fairway, blending into its surroundings allowing its occupants to feel at peace as part of nature. There is abundant birdlife, free roaming Impala, warthog, giraffe and other animals all around.

Accommodation

Kokobela Lodge sleeps up to 8 adults and 4 children. There are 4 spacious air-conditioned, on-suite bedrooms. All with King-size beds and double wardrobes. There are 4 additional single bed mattresses if needed for children. Linen and towels provided.

3 of the 4 bedrooms walk out onto a wooden deck which stretches along the entire west side of the house, overlooking a natural forest / bush (as called in South Africa). This is the perfect place to enjoy a quite early morning cup of coffee or a late afternoon sundowner with your friends or family. The 4th bedroom walks out to the fountain in the garden courtyard where you will find a bench under a tree, the ideal spot for reading.

The kitchen, lounge and dining areas all walk out onto the outside pool patio which is only a few paces away from the 7th fairway. Half of the patio is covered by thatch and the other half is open which provided the perfect spot for sunbathing next to the private swimming pool which is cut into the patio. This is probably where you'll spend most of your time when you're not playing golf or out on Safari.

The bathrooms all have double vanities, a shower and a toilet. Two of the four bathrooms have a bath as well and one of these also walks out into an outside, secluded, shower.

Facilities

There is 1 three-seater sofa and 1 four-seater sofa in the lounge area as well as a big screen TV, DVD and CD player as well as satellite TV.

The dining area has a 10-seater wooden table. The fully equipped kitchen houses everything you would expect: an oven and hob with extractor fan, large fridge-freezer, microwave, toaster, kettle, etc. With plenty storage space and granite work surfaces throughout. There is a separate, out of view, scullery which houses a dish washer, washing machine and tumble dryer.

For your convenience a daily cleaning service is provided at no additional cost. There is no need to fuss over cleaning the braai (barbeque) yourself either as it will be cleaned for you as part of the daily service.
