DESCRIPTION:

The lodge, with its tranquil, parkland setting is the ideal place for local and overseas visitors alike. At Pumula you can get away from the hustle and bustle. It is difficult to imagine that you are only five minutes away from the centre of town. Yet, the location allows for easy access to the many attractions in the area: from playing golf at one of the many world-class courses, to dining out, or if youre feeling adventurous, hiking on one of the many trails in the area. The range of activities is extensive.
