Please note: Our review of this property has not yet been added. Watch this space. We're working on it.

As a tailor-made tour operator, we often have to get creative when designing your perfect itinerary.

For example, your travel consultant might add this property to your itinerary if:

Location is a significant factor
It offers a unique feature that will enhance your experience
This is a last-minute booking and room availability is limited
Cost is a factor and you'd rather splash out on another part of your trip
This is a newly opened or refurbished property that we have not inspected yet

When designing your custom itinerary we have much to consider not least of which is the value proposition of every product and service included in your quote. In all cases we strive to give you the best experience possible within your budget so please feel free to ask your travel consultant to share their reasons for including this property in your itinerary.

Ideal for couples, Rock Lodge captivates with its cliffside location, which affords spectacular views across the Zululand Valley.

During a stay here, you’ll have access to 29,866 hectares of private traversing across 7 distinct habitats – and with limited number of vehicles at sightings and sensitive off-roading practices, it seems as if you have Phinda all to yourself. The reserve is renowned for its healthy population of cheetah and black rhino, with the sand forest also home to the rare suni and red duiker – 2 tiny antelope species not often spotted elsewhere.

Rock Lodge’s 6 intimate suites resemble modern caves that appear to be floating above the valley. Wooden shutters and doors open onto a private viewing deck and splash pool, with several suites also featuring scenic outdoor showers.

The rooftop terrace sets the scene for panoramic sundowners and al fresco dinners, while back in your suite, you can take advantage of your own personal bar, gym-in-a-basket for workouts, and in-room spa treatments using Healing Earth products. Weather permitting, you might also find yourself at a bush banquet in a secret outdoor location within the reserve.

Please note that no children under 12 are allowed at the lodge, due to its cliffside location.
