The retreat does not accommodate children under 16 or infants.
Do the units have television?
All our power is generated by solar energy. We do not have TVs, air-conditioners, etc. in the units.

Pets are not allowed. We have wildlife on the farm and the animals graze in the gardens and close to the hiking trails. To protect both our game and your pet, we do not allow people to bring their pets.
Do you offer game drives?
We do not offer game drives. However, the hiking trails are well-marked. You can enjoy a short or slightly longer hike to catch a glimpse of the Giraffes, Impala and Kudu.
Do I need a high-rise vehicle?
The road to Graceland Eco Retreat is very well maintained and is tarred for the most part. The gravel road from the tar road to inside Graceland is easily drivable. The section from Serapana down to Kudu Chalet and Pause Restaurant is slightly uneven but most visitors easily drive it with a sedan. Very low-rise cars are not advisable.

All rates are on a self-catering basis. You may choose to add breakfast or dinner at an additional cost. These meals must be booked and paid for 72 hours in advance as we are far from any shopping facilities.

We do not have a spa. However, many guests choose to make a day trip to Tzaneen to enjoy a spa treatment.
It there a pool?
The splash pool is for the sole use of guests that are booked into Kudu Chalet.
Can I change my reservation?
