About The Shire Eco Lodge

As refreshing as it is unique; an extraordinary and truly unique space, captivating with its innovative design and magnificent forest setting.

Accommodation

The chalets rest on the edge of the indigenous Xholora forest in the Amatola Mountains, just a stream's hop from the enchanted home of many rare species of plants, butterflies and birds, including the rare Cape Parrot. From nature-loving adventurous types, to those on business, The Shire promises to soothe, inspire and rejuvenate. We offer either self-catering or B&B accommodation.

Each elegant open-plan chalet contains a stylish en-suite bathroom and fully equipped kitchenette, as well as its own braai / barbeque facilities. Through the striking curved-glass corner window, you can feel a part of the forest. For the more daring kinds, our two river-side chalets have their own open bush showers where you can soak and steam among the trees Keep a look out for the rare samango monkeys curiously watching from the treetops.

What an amazingly serene getaway to a beautiful place. With nature on your doorstep, the private cabins at the Shire are magical in themselves and wonderfully close to a lush natural landscape that can keep you entertained and enchanted for days.

The Shire has everything and more that is needed and expected. The venue itself is unique in that you are in the foothills of the Amatola forest, the views are spectacular, the evenings are extremely quiet and are thus able to sleep peacefully and rest well The host, Rob Scott was excellent, he was always on hand and willing to assist and answer any queries We will certainly be visiting the area again and will only stay that the Shire Thank you for a wonderful stay Robbie and Kelly Stone
