Alternatively, the option of self-catering is available when you retreat to the Bush Lodge. The lodge offers a cosy wine cellar, Cattleman’s bar, two lounge areas with a roaring fireplace and a full function venue for the bigger parties.

As Francolin Creek is a lodge on a vast Free State farm, the views and surroundings are breath-taking and magnificent. The lodge has been proven as an ideal retreat for groups of friends or families. Several bird species roam in abundance on the farm, including the Francolin, the inspiration for the lodges name. Guests can enjoy the magic of a Free State thunderstorm while enjoying a traditional farm-style home-cooked meal. Dotted with millions of bright stars, the night sky is the only roof to the vast and rolling grasslands. Stocked with the plains game and the magic of Africa in its most potent form!
