Hazyview - Through the wrought-iron gates at the end of a bougainvillea-lined drive you will find Plumbago – as pretty as the flower that shares its name.
Set on an avocado and banana farm, it sits above the plantation watching over the Kruger National Park in the distance.
The 1940s jazz in the background is just the right accompaniment to the nostalgic, colonial-inspired setting.
There are charming air-conditioned rooms with sitting areas, en-suite bathrooms, tea trays and fine bed linen; Jacobean print curtains, mahogany beds and an abundance of vased and water-coloured flowers. The elegant pool and sauna in the beautifully tended bird-filled garden allows for relaxation.
Beauty treatments, activities, transfers and safaris can be arranged. Children and pets by arrangement. For lunch and dinner, bookings are essential. Plumbago is fully licensed and credit cards are accepted.
For members, 20 percent discount on the existing rate at the time of the booking request, ending October 2014. Proof of membership must be presented on arrival.
