Built in rock from the surrounding hills, a beautiful lodge-under-thatch has been created with views of the gorge and the surrounding cliffs and mountain, within earshot of baboon barks echoing down the valley. Come spend a few nights in the totally sublime luxury of the stone suite's, built in one of the circles of this ancient stone-walled village, totally surrounded by indigenous bush and trees. The ambience is complemented by the beautiful interior design of the furniture and facilities.
According to local legend and archaeologists, over 3 000 years ago miners, thought to be from India, found Forest Creek and established a village built from the local rock, and much of its remnants are clearly visible today. When they left, local Nguni tribes took over Forest Creek where they felt safe and protected from marauders that roamed the plain below.
It is only when one gets to the gate of Forest Creek Lodge that the steep, rock-strewn grassland is left behind, and one enters this little enchanted world. The mystique of the place is tangible. Following a trail deeper and deeper into the gorge, totally enveloped in mist and under a thick canopy of trees, a strong feeling of peace will overwhelm you.
On this amazing piece of land you will find luxury guest suites at the main lodge to self-catering cottages and a hikers cabin with campsites. There are various hiking trails for the ardent hiker and for the not so fit.
Forest Creek Lodge is the perfect place for honeymooners - celebrating your first, fifth or fiftieth, you will be enspired by the romance of this incredibly exclusive place.
