Accommodation in Hluhluwe - Bushwillow, Hluhluwe, KwaZulu-Natal

Bushwillow Game lodge All meals included and self catering accommodation  Hluhluwe, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

Bushwillow is an upmarket, fully serviced bush lodge, situated in Weavers Nature & Game Park: 150 hectares of indigenous sand forest. Either cater for yourself in the lodges fully equipped kitchen or let us spoil you with lazy breakfasts and first-class evening meals.
Enjoy walks on the self guided trails and experience the fascination of the smaller fauna & the likely encounters with zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, impala, warthog & nyala. Or, just relax at the lodge in peaceful surroundings & watch the game come to Bushwillow’s own small waterhole. The abundance of bird life, the variety of trees & other flora makes for a great bush experience but with the luxury and comforts of a 4-star graded establishment.
Bushwillow is ideally situated, allowing for both a bush & a beach experience. On your doorstep, find the world-renowned Hluhluwe Umfolozi Park, known for its Big Five. Day trips to other important game parks in the area are also possible. Enjoy excursions to Sodwana Bay, Cape Vidal, Charters Creek and False Bay to discover coral reefs, sandy beaches, coastal dunes, mangrove swamps, ancient sand forest & magnificent lakes; all a part of The Greater St Lucia Wetland Park: the most important estuarine wetland system in Africa, recently declared a World Heritage Site. For the more adventurous, enjoy canoeing, horse riding, diving trips in the area. Or for those who wish to pamper themselves, there is a nearby spa where you can enjoy wonderful spa treatments.
This is a piece of paradise in Zululand on the Elephant Coast, a rejuvenating and unique experience not to be missed.
The luxury bedroom units are linked by wooden walkways to a central facility with furnishings that nurture the bushveld experience. The spacious lounge, kitchen, dining room and pool deck create an ambience of solitude. Unwind in the evening as one listens to the nocturnal sounds.

GUEST COMMENTS 
Had a wonderful time at Bushwillow. Feel like not telling anyone about this secret, but Bushwillow deserves to succeed. Glad we stayed in to eat (future visitors , please note!!!). Jacomie has spoiled us with super meals and service. Jabu has been a gem! So helpful and smiley! (Keith Hamilton & family, England)
 
Wow, we spent 4 days here and have been spoilt rotten. This stay totally exceeded our expectations. Absolutely fantastic staff and luxury accommodation. The 4-star rating gives it no justice – it should be “6-star”. (Hayden & Jerri-Lee, South Africa)
 
A very beautiful setting and a lovely drive through the park. The lodges are fabulous. I would recommend Bushwillow to anyone. I loved the way the animals came to drink. (Mary Parks & family, Canada)

Accommodation & Facilities
ACCOMMODATION
Bushwillow consists of three units.
Central Facility
The central facility comprises an open plan, fully equipped stylish kitchen. The spacious and tastefully decorated lounge and dining area with foldaway doors, opens out onto the large deck area where you can cool off in the pool or lie on the sun loungers in dappled sunlight. In the evening, relax and unwind. Enjoy a sunset and night sky in the African bush. Prepare a sumptuous barbeque on the deck area and dine at leisure as you listen to the night sounds.

The Bedrooms
King-sized or twin bedded rooms with floor to ceiling sliding windows with mosquito netting allow you to feel as if you are sleeping outside. The quality of the furnishings, however, remind you that comfort is at hand. Let the early morning sun awaken your senses as you gaze out of your bed into the clearing where game can be seen grazing. The en-suite bathroom is spacious with hand made twin basins set in a beautiful and original solid wood vanity. The frameless shower and freestanding cast iron bath makes for a tasteful mixture of old and new. Relax in a candlelit bath as you soak up the peace and tranquility whilst looking out onto the bush. The small private deck area allows you to sit out and enjoy an early morning cup of tea or a quiet evening sundowner.
