Ant's Hill
is our second addition to The Ant Collection, a
bush home similar to Ant's Nest; it derives its
name from being based on one of the highest
hills in the Waterberg. The lodge has been built
on a ridge over looking a gorge offering magical
views of plains, and distant hills as far as the
eye can see. Not only offering a fabulous game
viewing experience and a wide variety of
activities, it is a superb place to just relax
and watch the sun go down for those needing a
well-deserved break.
Ant's Hill
caters for a maximum of 10 guests; it is booked
on an exclusive basis and run in exactly the
same way as Ant's Nest. The emphasis at Ant's
Hill is on offering guests a truly personal and
flexible safari. There is no specific wake up
times, guests can do what they want when they
want, they can be as active or inactive as they
like and more than one activity can be offered
at any one time.
The
Lodge
Ant's Hill
has been creatively designed using natural stone
and the finest local wood such as wild olives
and acacia, together with the exotic furniture
and brightly colored fabrics from Kenya making
it truly unique. It is luxurious in a very
comfortable and homely way. The large sitting
room and dining room offer breathtaking views of
the gorge and waterfall. Its large bi-folding
doors create a very open feel to the lodge in
the summer, whilst in winter the doors can be
closed keeping you cosy in front of the roaring
fire.
The large
verandah has a deck, which over-hangs the gorge
where guests can while a way the afternoon on
large comfortable loungers. The infinity
swimming pool is set in amongst the boulders
overhanging the gorge and is surrounded by a
lawned garden which is a safe haven for children
to play in.
The
rooms:
Each room
has been uniquely designed hence all have
different features. All the rooms are extremely
spacious and have their own verandahs with
comfortable lounging beds with large cushions.
There is
one double room situated upstairs of the main
lodge, furnished with a 7 ft by 7 ft four poster
bed offering the best views down the valley from
both the bed and the large verandah.
One
honeymoon cottage is situated slightly further
away and built with large bi-folding doors on
two sides offering spectacular views all round.
There is a bath with a view, plus indoor and
outdoor showers and an open fire place.
The family
cottage consists of two en suite bedrooms with a
large central living room / dining room, mini
bar and fireplace and large bi-folding doors
which open out onto a deck. This cottage is
ideal for families with children; meals can be
served in the cottage on request. A small lawn
at the back of the cottage is an ideal playing
area for children.
