Sanbona Wildlife Reserve is
situated approximately 3 hours from Cape Town between Montagu and
Barrydale.
Tilney Manor, once a thriving fruit farm dating back to
1898 has six luxuriously appointed rooms. This exclusivity ensures
that guests can experience personal service and world-class
cuisine in an atmosphere of privacy and tranquility. Comfortable
lounges with fireplaces for winter nights, private verandas,
romantic freestanding baths and carefully sheltered outdoor
showers are just a few of the pleasures that guests can enjoy.
More modern comforts include air-conditioning, satellite
television, private bars and tea and coffee making facilities.
The fully equipped Spa offers guests the opportunity to
recover from the rigors of the outside world and restore their
sense of inner harmony. This is the perfect environment for
rediscovering creativity and regenerating energy. Cape Georgian
decor draws on the natural colours of the surrounding stone and
vegetation, with subtle touches of San culture influencing the
design throughout the guest rooms and conference facility. |

Sanbona's second lodge, Khanni,
is named after the San word for Eland - a magnificent antelope
revered by the San as ruler of the animal kingdom. Tucked away in
a secluded valley overlooking a natural watering hole, Khanni
Lodge is an idyllic Klein Karoo summer house, with wrap-around
verandas, high lime-washed ceilings and exposed beams providing a
feeling of cool, airy space.
From the verandah and rim-flow swimming pool guests can watch
animals visiting the watering hole to drink, and the private
verandas of the lodge's four spacious suites offer exquisite views
of the surrounding landscape. Khanni Lodge provides guests with an
enchanting choice of settings in which to relax - from the airy
dining room and cozy lounge with its fireplace, to the outdoor
dining patio and barbeque facilities. |
