Mokoya Lodge will create lingering impressions on you in a home-away-from-home setting situated just far enough away from the hustle (and hassles) of the city yet within comfortable driving distance to allow you to relax and unwind in the most peaceful countryside. Positioned on 27 hectares of landscaped gardens and natural bushveld, Mokoya is a sanctuary for diverse birdlife and a haven for the nature enthusiast. An oasis of adventures and nature activities awaits you at Mokoya where you can share memorable evenings in the captivating function lapa or the boma bonfire, meander along carefully chosen nature trails and enjoy heart-warming home-cooked meals from our international chef. AccommodationWith 16 spacious cottage-style rooms (up to 34 guests sharing), all en-suite, and one charming honeymoon cottage; Mokoya offers inviting and affordable comfort in individually decorated rooms set amongst the African trees. Sweet Thyme RestaurantOur Sweet Thyme Restaurant creates luscious, nourishing dishes for guests who want to enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner whilst taking in the peaceful mountain view. From fillet with a Belgian chilli-chocolate sauce to salmon on vanilla risotto with almond broccoli; and treats like maize-dumplings in poppy seed custard, our chef will ensure every meal is a delight to indulge in. Guests can also enjoy feasts in the charming banqueting Lapa, or around the bush boma fire where catering is designed to suit palate and pocket. Day-visitors are welcome to enjoy the ambience and cuisine for lunch and dinner (for food this good, bookings are essential).
