WILLOWSLOPES LODGE
This spectacular lodge, built-in 2013 while maintaining the colonial architecture of the estate, sits beneath the majestic Willow Slopes cliffs and is surrounded by green lawns. It is the ideal place to relax when you are not going on safari. You can choose between 4 chalets, all with air conditioning and attached bathrooms. Alternatively, you can book the main house with two bedrooms for a family atmosphere.
During the day, relax by the large pool, watch the wildlife that can graze on the lawns, or enjoy a soothing massage from one of our trained and experienced masseurs.
At Buccara, we are most proud of the evening hours. Starting with a culinary experience that is compared to an event, with homemade products and freshly prepared meat, which is perfectly prepared and grilled by our chefs. Let yourself be pampered with handpicked wines, spirits, and cigars and experience the stories of a beautiful day under the stars in the Monkey Bar.
CLIFTON ESTATES
MANOR
With its foundation dating back to 1774, this is surely one of the historical marvels of the Great Karoo area, if not South Africa.
Emphasis has been laid on keeping the original style of this gem of a homestead with large spacious rooms looking out onto the majestic lawns surrounding the Estate and gardens.
Having 5 double rooms with attached bathrooms available, this is an ideal family vacation home with an “Out of Africa” movie-like atmosphere.
MAIN HOUSE
Slightly more modern than its historical neighbour, this lodge offers open living areas with a relaxed ambiance.
Walk out of the entertainment area, after a game of Snooker on our full-sized table dating back to 1911, and dive into the sparkling pool on a warm summers day. Or enjoy a soothing massage in the adjoining Spa.
With 4 comfortable rooms to choose from, this Lodge will feel like your very own home in the middle of Africa.
You have the option to enjoy your own barbecue around the pool should you decide not to dine as usual from our delectable kitchen.
