Kwandwe Ecca Lodge

Kwandwe Game Reserve, Eastern Cape, South Africa - Classic 4

Set in thick vegetation overlooking a dense valley, Ecca Lodge offers breathtaking views onto an escarpment of steep shale cliffs. Expansive wooden viewing decks provide the ideal setting to soak up the bushveld atmosphere with a leisurely lunch or a sundowner drink. Rooms are airy and open, with barely a barrier between the indoors and the African bush. Highlights of the guest areas include the open interactive kitchen, a gorgeous rim-flow lap pool and the nearby interpretive library.

Each of the six stylish suites features a spacious en-suite bathroom, indoor and outdoor showers, separate loo and twin hand basins. Furnishings combine clean, contemporary sofas with venerable old collectables from the region. Wraparound wooden decks lead from sitting rooms and bedrooms to private plunge pools and outdoor showers.
