Secluded, wild and very remote, Samara’s Mountain Retreat surveys an ancient landscape, overlooking the Valley of the Bushman where rare Khoisan paintings of cheetah are preserved.
There are three double en-suite bedrooms in the main homestead as well as a comfortable lounge with fire-place and a dining-room. A wide wrap-around veranda provides the perfect area for relaxing on the comfy couches while contemplating the awesome view. A Jacuzzi on the veranda affords an ideal cooling-off spot. A further two en-suite bedrooms are situated in the restored Victorian barn.
As an eco-lodge, Mountain Retreat does not have electricity. Here you will enjoy the romance of oil lamps and candlelight.
As can be expected at Samara, delicious home-cooked meals are served in various venues – the dining-room, under the stars in the boma or on the veranda.
Guests will be accompanied on drives and walks by an experienced ranger who will be able to point out all the little things in addition to the larger mammals such as cheetah, white rhino, giraffe, wildebeest, herds of antelope and the elusive aardvark, all of which inhabit our 70,000 acres of land.
Mountain Retreat is the perfect getaway for a family or group of friends wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle and return to a slower pace and closeness to nature.
