The Baroness Luxury Safari Lodge has 10 stylish and spacious suites all with showers, baths and king-sized beds. While there are no in-suite mini bar or tea and coffee making facilities, our helpful staff are on call to serve refreshments in your room, and there is a bar in the Lodge which is open all day.

We do not supply television sets in the rooms, however there is a comfortable TV room in the Lodge with a fireplace.

Suites

Each of the 10 spacious luxury rooms opens onto the picturesque gardens with their indigenous plants, cool verandas, courtyards and quaint plunge pool. There are six double suites, three family rooms and one twin room.

Suites are spacious and comfortable, with high ceilings and original polished cement and yellowwood floors. The décor is eclectic and colourful with antiques and giant candelabra and chandeliers mixing effortlessly with leather couches, shabby chic sofas, kilim floor rugs and animal skins. Romantic four poster beds are draped with gossamer fabric mosquito nets and dressed with cotton linen and chenille or faux-fur throws. There are extra warm blankets for chilly nights.

Rooms have showers and freestanding bathtubs, some with views across the indigenous forests.

The guest living spaces are heated by log fireplaces and there are many comfortable sitting areas with a library of books for guests to browse through and many beautiful artefacts, trophies and original photographs to admire.

Dinning

A day at Baroness Luxury Safari Lodge starts with a delicious breakfast served on the semi-enclosed terrace which is warmed by a log fireplace on fresh mornings.

After breakfast guests can join an experienced game ranger on a two hour game drive in an open Land Rover or a horseback safari through the sweeping grasslands of the Reserve.

The rest of the morning should be spent lazing at the pool or on the deck, reading or birding.

Lunch is served at The Shed, a short distance from the Lodge and the departure point for games drives and outrides.

After lunch, enjoy a siesta in the coolness of your luxury suite or book a late afternoon game drive followed by a drink at the bar with your ranger to recollect your experience.

Dinner is an indulgent three course home-cooked meal at the Lodge with pre- or postprandial drinks in the Boma.

The Lodge has an enclosed Boma with a central open fire place, a bar and a deck over the dam where sundowners are served. The Boma is available for functions.

Within the main building of the Lodge are a number of comfortable sitting areas with fireplaces, a well-stocked library and two dining rooms, one open plan with the vast kitchen and the other a semi-enclosed area for dining alfresco. Both have fireplaces.

There is a plunge pool in the courtyard off the dining room.

Visitors to Plettenberg Bay Game Reserve have the choice of a two-hour game drive in an open 4x4 vehicle or a two-hour horseback safari. Whatever you choose, you will be guaranteed of excellent game viewing with a knowledgeable and experienced guide, keen to share his insights with you. We will soon also be introducing two-hour bush walks through the beautiful indigenous forest.
