Description
Enjoy the unique atmosphere of Mashovhela Lodge in Morning Sun Nature Reserve, tucked away in a steep valley, surrounded by impressive cliffs where Black Eagles nest.
Be revitalized by the natural beauty and the Venda culture of dance, drums, secret forests and lakes, and the unique mythology of the sacred Mashovhela rock pool, "Place where the drums beat".
According to Venda tradition King Thohoiyanda mysteriously disappeared with his sacred drum. Neither were ever seen again. Legend has it that the drum can be heard in the echoes of the cliffs surrounding Mashovhela pool, the second most sacred place in Venda folklore.
Friendly staff pamper you whilst you relax in our Venda style lodge, which is recognized for its eco-friendly principles, sustainable energy usage at an affordable rate.
10 en-suite chalets have a unique ethnic feel, whilst offering complete comfort, luxurious beds and privacy. Children are accommodated in our family units.
The restaurant, terrace, boma and the bush, as well as the fully licensed bar guarantees not only variations and exciting new flavours in our pan-African cuisine, fine South African wines, cocktails or a drink of your choice, but different settings for various occasions.
Memorable dinners start as the sunsets and drums call you to join in a Venda dance to honour the chef for the creative and delicious meal to be served.
Explore and discover the natural beauty and wonders of this natural heritage site. From the scenic mountains and valleys, streams and rock pools, diversity of fauna and flora. Our guide will share his knowledge of this ecosystem and tell stories of the Vendas use of nature in a sustainable and responsible manner for medicines and food.
