Cybele Forest Lodge Roaming Africa Pty(ltd) |
White River - Mpumalanga As you travel into the cool of the forest country, deeper and higher, far into the mountains you will find Cybele forest lodge and spa. Three hundred acres of African paradise, living forest, mountains and meadows.
In the centre, the lodge is a charming old farmhouse with a wide veranda where you can sip sundowners whilst looking out over the magnificent gardens. Let the world slip away as you watch the monkeys cavorting in the giant turpentine trees.
Furnished throughout with antiques, original art and exquisite fabrics, the main house is a most relaxing place to read a book or to browse through one of the many current magazines from all over the world. Daydream on the veranda, or visit the bar to enjoy a drink or a special cocktail before sampling the lodge's legendary cuisine.
The magic of Cybele emerges as you are shown to your room. Accommodation is limited to 28 guests, ensuring peace and quiet, and personal attention. Each of the suites and cottages has been furnished and decorated to exacting standards. Original art adorns the walls and every whim is catered for, from the well-stocked mini bar in each room - complete with freshly sliced lemon and lime for your gin-and-tonic and ginger for your tea - to the little sheep you'll find on your pillow at night. All rooms and suites have walled gardens, many with views over the mountains, and six have heated pools for your exclusive use. Other features include separate lounge areas, air conditioning throughout, heated towel rails, satellite television, immaculate bedrooms and bathrooms - many with walled outside showers, under floor heating, and fireplaces ensuring, in winter, you can drift off to sleep with the comforting flicker of an open fire.
