Thornwood is a 4 star graded property offering Hluhluwe accommodation for up to 10 guests.
About Thornwood
Thornwood is a luxury private retreat within Kuleni Game Park, 150 hectares of pristine natural bush offering self guided walking trails amongst an abundance of bird life and game. The park is situated in the heart of Southern Maputaland and is a neighbour to The Greater St Lucia Wetland Park.
Hluhluwe Accommodation
Thornwood offers luxury accommodation for up to 8 people in a self-catering, fully serviced, upmarket lodge.
Thornwood has 4 bedrooms. Two bedrooms are stand alone cottages with queen size beds while the other two bedrooms are connected to the main house; these rooms have two single beds in each. All bedrooms are en-suite with outdoor showers. We have 2 stretchers that we set up as beds in any of the bedrooms for children.
A unique blend of luxury timber frame units, blend seamlessly into the surrounding bush, and superior comfort, second only to the natural beauty Mother Nature has to offer.
The main unit consists of a spacious lounge with couches that can sleep two children, an entertainment area with a decked pool, DStv, pool table and a study nook. Thornwood has a large well-fitted kitchen with all modern day conveniences.
The kitchen leads out onto a large fire pit deck, which is perfect for evening braais and fireside chats, canopied by spectacular night skies unique to Africa.
Also included in the main unit are two full en-suite bedrooms that have outdoor showers and bathtubs that open out to the African bush.
Location & Attractions
Kuleni Game Park itself offers self-guided walking trails with an abundance of bird-life and game such as giraffe, zebra, nyala, wildebeest and impala. The park is enclosed by an electrified double game fence, offering security to both wildlife and residents.
Kuleni Game Park is situated in the heart of Southern Maputaland and is a neighbour to the famous Phinda Game Reserve and The Greater St Lucia Wetland Park, now a world heritage site. The Hluhluwe - Umfolozi Park, known for it's Big 5, is right on your doorstep as well as a wide variety of activities and interesting sites to visit.

Fantastic place with very well maintained access roads to reach it. Multiple houses in the house, each room having an amazing bathroom including outdoor shower Since we were planning to arrive late on the first night we asked for a dinner and this has been also part of the experience Well located for multiple activities in the area Highly recommended

Thornwood has to be one of the most special private lodges on the North Coast. Our family recently treated us to a surprise weekend to celebrate our 40th anniversary, and they certainly chose a wonderful setting to celebrate. The lodge is very upmarket, beautifully decorated and we will certainly be back. Thank you Jacqui! The Markham and Emberton families.
