Grahamstown Accommodation / Bucklands Lodge Grahamstown Accommodation / Game Lodge Accommodation in Grahamstown

Welcome to Bucklands Lodge on SA-Venues.com, offering accommodation in Grahamstown, Frontier Country.
 

The renovation of this historic homestead, into what is now Bucklands Lodge, is of significance to the area as there are many such buildings in need of attention in the district, hence we are proud to form part of the preservation of a cultural heritage that is rapidly being lost to future generations.

Accommodation

Bucklands Lodge is completely solar powered offering 4 luxury double suites, all of which have modern en suite bathrooms. Each suite has been individually designed and has been classically furnished with the highest quality crisp linen and soft furnishings.

Bucklands Lodge has a comfortable sitting room, with other guest areas being the formal lounge and dining room, verandas and swimming pool offering majestic views over the rolling valleys all the way to the Hogsback, Gaika's Kop and the Winterberg in the distance.

A huge wild fig tree in the garden is the perfect place to spend a quiet afternoon with a book or you could have a drink with friends and family in our rustic pub in the historical fort. Game can also be viewed grazing on the planes from the comfort of the verandas!

Dining

Our chef prepares traditional South African brunches and high teas and serves a delicious three course dinner in the elegant dining room each evening.
