Restaurants

The lodge's dining options are incredibly diverse, and the team understands the value of dining experiences; from a 'al fresco' breakfast on the panoramic terrace to an intimate dinner for two in a private forest dining area, your senses will never tire of the abundant natural setting.

Hosted dinners in the well-appointed dining room are the norm, allowing visitors to mingle with like-minded travelers and an exceptional management staff.

'Bush dinners' are occasionally given on the island's nature walk, beneath a magnificent canopy of Mahogany and Milkwood trees. Be serenaded by the local village choir while you sample the Chef's creations, all beneath the glow of lanterns and stars.

Adventurous guests looking for a more secluded experience may enjoy a picnic on a nature walk or one of the river's many other islands. Whatever the request, the skilled chef will prepare a suitable meal for all.
