Dinonyane LodgeLodge accommodation alongside the renowned Nylsvely Nature Reserve DescriptionYour hosts, Hentie Swart (owner) and Stephanie de Beer (manageress), will do all they can to make you feel welcome at a truly unique place that is ideal for a relaxed weekend get-away, for a mini-conference, for lekgotlas, lecture courses, family celebrations and special occasions. For conferences - between 10-40 delegates can be catered for - Dinonyane's tranquil environment lends itself to a creative and productive experience. Special team building activities can be arranged. We cater particularly for birders - solitary, couples, families, organized groups - who want to experience the prolific birdlife on the nearby floodplain and Nylsvley Nature Reserve. We have 12 en suite, comfortable, cosy rooms and can sleep 12 singles and up to 42 sharing. All rooms have double or single beds, down duvets, comfortable pillows and high quality cotton linen. They are equipped with a mini-bar, tea- and coffee-making facilities, a heater, a fan or air-conditioning and TV. Bathrooms have either a bath and shower or just a shower, high quality bath sheets and towels and a variety of bathroom amenities.
The rooms are set in a large, shady, well-maintained, bird-friendly garden - a lovely setting to enjoy the dawn chorus of the prolific birdlife found here.
