Set amidst indigenous sand forest, this 4-star bush lodge is situated on a 150-ha private game reserve. Bushwillow features an outdoor plunge pool surrounded by a large wooden sundeck.

Bushwillow is conveniently located for visitors exploring the Elephant Coast. It is located just 16 km from Hluhluwe town, allowing for both a bush and beach experience.

The timber-framed rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows and décor with an African feel. The bathrooms elegantly combine hand-made basins, solid-wood vanities and frameless showers. Each room has a private wooden veranda.

Bushwillow’s staff pampers guests with 3-course dinners served on the bird-watching sundeck. An open-plan, fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops is at guests’ disposal if they book Bushwillow as their exclusive self-catering lodge.

Guests can enjoy walks through the Bushwillow’s reserve where they may encounter several game species. The property is home to many birds and a variety of trees and flowers. Day trips to other game parks can also be organised.
