Deep in the heart of the forest, you'll find an old hunting lodge called Cybele Forest Lodge and Spa : 300 acres of African paradise surrounded by timber plantations, mountains and meadows. In the very centre is the Lodge itself.  A charming old farmhouse with a wide verandah where you can sip your sundowners and look out over the magnificent gardens. Watch the playful monkeys cavorting in the giant turpentine trees. Take in the cool violet blue of the Jacaranda, the shocking pink of the Tibouchina and the scarlet umbrella of the African flame tree.Wander down to the large secluded swimming pool with its comfortable sun beds. Here you can relax and listen to the creaking of the Bluegum trees in the forest breeze. Breathe in the heady aroma of Frangipani, Gardenia and Buddleia.

Accommodation at Cybele Forest Lodge is limited to a total of 28 people at the various suites, cottages, and studios. The interior of the Lodge is warm and inviting. The main house is furnished throughout with antiques, art and exquisite fabrics - the ideal place to relax with a book or magazine. Each of the suites, cottages and studios has been individually decorated and personalized. Most include sitting rooms, some have private walled patios or gardens. All the suites at Cybele have their own swimming pools and all cottages and suites have fireplaces.

The latest addition to Cybele Forest Lodge is the Spa comprised of two treatment rooms, two beauty therapy rooms, a steam room and spacious showers with multiple, high-pressure jets.
