The Bokmakierie Country Lodge is set in tranquil surroundings at the edge of Ladysmith, overlooking the Country Club golf course, acres of barren land, and a variety of wildlife.
The Country Lodge's garden, home and setting is simply stunning. From the moment you enter the driveway, you are immediately enveloped by a world of beauty and tranquility.
The stunning pool beckons to you warmly, while you wonder if the grass is real or fake. Palm trees and green shrubs give the feel of a tropical island, as you look out into the peaceful countryside.
A bar and snacks are also available while you unwind. You can enjoy breakfast in the dining room overlooking the pool, or beside the pool, in comfortable cane loungers.

One of the rooms also boasts a steam room, and a Jacuzzi in the main section of the house. And if you please, your laundry will also get done during your stay.
