Bushbuck Lodge with its swimming pool and tropical gardens at dusk

Southbroom ยท KwaZulu-Natal

A quiet escape in the subtropical bush

Five self-catering units set in a private green belt of subtropical bush, with a pool, thatched lapa, braai area and a signposted trail down to the warm Indian Ocean.

Welcome

Wild on every side, warm at every turn

Bushbuck Lodge sits in a private green belt of lush subtropical bush in Southbroom, with the forest pressing in on every side. Vervet monkeys, bushbuck and duikers wander the grounds, and the lodge's own signposted trail leads you down to golden beaches and warm ocean.

Each of our five units is fully self-contained, so you set your own pace. Cook a braai under the lapa, swim in the pool, work with fast fibre, or simply sit on the deck and watch the coast turn amber at sunset.
