Accommodation
Carnarvon Dale is a small secluded lodge on the North side of the game reserve, which is away from dangerous game. It consists of the 1820 Settler farmhouse, known as the Bottom House, and the Edwardian cottage known as the Top House. Guests can choose to stay in either the comfortable en-suite serviced bedrooms of the Top House or the recently re-open Bottom House Suite. The Bottom House is where breakfasts and dinners are served with hosts, Roger and Maryan.
Our accommodation is ideal for couples travelling together or for family groups. Our menus offer good home cooking South African style – solid breakfasts, light lunches and three course dinners – and we cater for vegetarians and diabetics. We enjoy talking to our guests and, as ex-history teachers, we love talking about the history of our diverse country, our history-rich area and our connected community.
