About Olifants River Lodge

Olifants River Lodge is a malaria-free, semi-bushveld paradise cradled in a valley and situated on the banks of the Great Olifants River, less than two hours' drive from Johannesburg, Pretoria and Nelspruit, on the R555 between Middelburg and Witbank (eMalahleni). A prepared 6km gravel road is the path that Oom Barrie took back in 1985 to Presidentsrus. He came over the hill and fell in love with the mystical view from afar.

Accommodation

Named God's Valley, with its indigenous fauna and flora hugging our diverse accommodation from rough chalets, rondavels, cabanas, log cains to luxury apartments set on stunning manicured gardens. We are an exceptional venue specializing in all aspects of hospitality.

Please see the individual room descriptions with photographs below, to assist you with your choice.

On Site Facilities

Our outside patio is also ideal for grabbing a light bite to eat whilst our bar, equipped with a big screen TV, is ideal for an evening sundowner. And of course, our traditional Sunday Lunch Buffet is a must! We offer a swimming pool, indoor heated pool, waterslides, paddle boats, table tennis, Volleyball, Snooker, darts, pool table, cricket nests, a jungle gym, mini golf and much more.

Activities

When you're ready to break in the hiking shoes, there are plenty of walking trails branching out from the property. If there's one thing you shouldn't miss out on at Olifants River Lodge, it's casting a line in the nearby Olifants River. If you're geared towards a nature exploration, don't skip a guided game drive through the nearby Bezhoek Nature Reserve.

If you're a keen birder (and even if you're not), you are guaranteed to delight in the myriad of local choristers in the region. Avid mountain bikers will adore the terrain in Olifants River Valley. Rally a partner, then make your way across the Olifants River in one of our paddle boats.
