Karkloof Spa // South Africa Karkloof SpaAfter a 45 minutes drive from Durban international airport, across the landscape with its narrow roads and small clay huts a different South Africa opens up to the travellers. Vast spaces and bush with wild vegetation, where zebras, giraffes and rhinoceros evolve freely. This is the scenery of the Karkloof Spa, which opened its doors in October 2008. At the heart of Kwazulu-Natal, a natural jewel crossed by three rivers and 4 waterfalls, this environment-friendly lodge is an open invitation to discover the world of wilderness and serenity. An absolute must is the exceptional green-spa. Let’s visit.
| Accommodation :
The 16 Individual villas nestled on the hillside, amidst tall trees, offer breathtaking views of 3,500 hectares of bush land.
Use of natural materials : wood, clay, brick and sandstone and thatched roofs, barely higher than the surrounding Acacia trees. The blend of wood and natural fabrics characterises the decoration of the rooms and offers them a contemporary look and feel of simplicity creating a cosy atmosphere.
The furniture, coming from Durban antique shops, has character, history and personality creating this subtle African exotic atmosphere.
Restaurant :
Carte blanche was given to Chef Ciaran McMarthy. His passion? Bio products, healthy and fresh produce coming from markets and farms nearby. All in line with the dietetics of the menu created for the Spa, the restaurant offers a variety of fine dishes sprinkled with a touch of exoticism: smoked salmon served hot, fish nuggets, a vanilla beet salad, Risotto of tarragon and fennel, tomato and onion confits...
