Botsebotse Luxury Retreat will enchant you, steal your heart and leave you yearning for more. Botsebotse is situated 2 hours by tarred road from Johannesburg between Bela Bela and Thabazimbi and offers wildlife, Big 5 activities, golf, spa and culinary delights.

Our discreet boutique getaway for the discerning traveller accommodates only a small number of guests offering a relaxed and refined experience, complemented by personal service and a wide range of exciting activities such as Spa, Golf, Eco Safaris and Big-5.

What makes Botsebotse different? Perhaps it is about the personal service or the luxuries that you enjoy so much such as breakfast in your PJ’s in your own courtyard, a delicious picnic in the bush, a relaxing massage, a bottle of good wine, scrumptious food under a clear starlit African sky and fresh coffee next to a roaring fire.

Or maybe it’s more about the whole experience than one single thing. More about the memories you made, the occasions that you celebrated and the way that you felt at home. That’s why people come back to Botsebotse Luxury Retreat again and again, because it feels like home – even for the first time.

Inspired by African design and art, Botsebotse is a picture perfect boutique lodge build from stone, thatch and natural materials blending seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. Luxurious indoor and outdoor spaces, rare African artifacts and tasteful décor combines harmoniously to provide a calming and comfortable  sanctuary.

The main lodge with its lapa, teak decks, crystal-clear martini pool,  quaint teak hot spa tub and comfortable indoor and outdoor lounges is ideal for relaxation. Four luxurious spacious en-suite rooms  accommodate only four couples at a time and are housed back-to-back in two free standing wings. The two wings are connected to the main lodge by a thatched walkway. Each room has a private screened courtyard, a lavish bathroom with a bath and shower, a private outdoor shower and undercover parking. All rooms have remote controlled air conditioning and heating, ceiling fans, comfortable Queen beds, refreshment stations, seating,  flat screen televisions, DVD players, satellite TV, electronic safes and mini-bars. Room layouts are the same but the décor is unique to each room. All rooms are equipped with luxury amenities to ensure an unforgettable stay.

Choose from the finest South African estate wines and enjoy culinary delights from menus created with the most discerning palettes in mind. Dine in in our dining area, on the outdoor decks, in the boma next to a roaring fire or a romantic private spot under a clear African starlit sky. Order breakfast in the privacy of your own courtyard and delicious light bistro meals or a picnic basket for lunch. Help yourself to complimentary home baked muffins and fresh fruits whenever you need a top-up snack.
