Home Activities Accommodation Hunting Gallery Contact Details

THE LODGE:
Our rambling and rustic farm house can easily accommodate up to 12 people, and comes with a fully equipped kitchen stocked with crockery, cutlery as well as an electric stove and fridge. An adjoining, wind-free lapa boasts the perfect braai and party area, and we supply the necessary utensils, potjies and barbecue grids. 2 bathrooms with an extra basin and toilet, and hot water supplied by electric geyser. The beds have warm winter sheets and mohair or wool blankets to see you through those freezing winter nights. All you have to bring is your towel.

SERVICING & TARIFFS:
Keep in mind that you are nearly an hour's drive from the closest town and shops, so bring everything you need for the duration of your staty. A fridge is available however, and fresh meat, eggs, milk and organically grown, seasonal veggies can be ordered from your hosts Rinaldo and Magriet who live at Silverbrook farm about 14km down the road. Wood is supplied free of charge and a cleaning service is also available at a very affordable fee, so why not sit back, relax and let Joyce earn a few well-deserved Rands?

Speaking of rates: we charge R100 per person (for non-hunters) per night, with a minimum fee of R400 per night for the lodge. Maximum capacity of the establishment is 12 people, children under 4 stay free, and kids under 12 pay 50% of the adult rate. A non-refundable, 50% deposit is payable to secure your booking, and proof of payment must be emailed or faxed through to us. A special group rate may be negotiated by schools or other organisations when arranging educational or corporate trips.

GETTING THERE:
The turn-off to RIBBOK VALLEY LODGE is situated approximately 40km from Bedford along the R344 to Spring Valley and Tarkastad. This is a good, municipal gravel road, while the 13km farm track to the lodge should pose no problem. Heavy rains or snow may however cause flooding, so be aware of potential access issues.
