Life's adventures begin where the tar road ends! The Red Cliff Lodge is a family-owned off-the-grid eco-cabin offering intimate accommodation in Great Marico District which is well known for its crystal clear rivers, arguably some of the cleanest water in South Africa. Carved into the heart of the Groot Marico bushveld and framed by towering ochre cliffs, Red Cliff Lodge is an unforgettable off-grid escape for those who crave wild beauty, deep silence, and true disconnection from the everyday.
Surrounded by rugged ridges and ancient rock formations that glow crimson in the late afternoon sun, the lodge offers a secluded retreat into nature — raw, real, and radiantly alive.
The lodge is set in a private gorge beneath towering red sandstone cliffs, offering panoramic views, dramatic landscapes, and an intimate connection with the Marico’s untamed soul.
At Red Cliff Lodge, there are no schedules — just space, silence, and the rhythmic heartbeat of the bush. Whether you’re exploring hiking trails, watching cliff shadows stretch at sunset, or simply sitting in awe of it all, this is where the Marico reveals its magic.
