The Gorge | Game Lodges & Resorts Oribi Gorge

The Gorge Private Game Lodge & Spa is nestled in an unspoiled part of South Africa’s South Coast region of KwaZulu-Natal, the majestic Oribi Gorge. Situated only 32km from Port Shepstone, it offers one of the most spectacular natural wonders of our diverse country.

Five exclusive, luxury villas are built on the edge of the impressive sandstone cliffs offering spectacular views of the Oribi Gorge Nature Reserve. From this vantage point, guests can enjoy the sight of the endangered Cape Vultures gliding on the thermals and our ever changing views.

Our owner-managed boutique lodge provides unsurpassed hospitality, world class service and exquisite fine dining cuisine. Our fully-equipped Spa with its lavish Spa menu enables you to relax and rejuvenate. Our commitment to you allows absolute flexibility in all areas of your stay, ensuring you a most memorable “timeless” experience.

Nature lovers will enjoy our informative guided trails through the indigenous coastal forests with its rich bio-diversity of plant, animal, insect and bird life. Most of Southern Africa’s plains animals can be seen on our daily educational game drives.

Only 1˝ hours drive from Durban.

The main structure and dome roof have been built from concrete while the walls have a natural rock cladding to blend with the sandstone cliffs of the gorge. The interior decor blends ultra modern state-of-the-art gadgets with a touch of Africa.

Two thirds of each chalet boasts double volume glass creating an unobstructed view of the Mzimkulwana River and the Oribi Gorge Nature Reserve. Each chalet has its own indoor and private outdoor shower overlooking the gorge.

All chalets are fitted with Caesarstone quartz baths & surface vanities and rich, mahogany furnishings in the spacious dressing rooms.

Each chalet is fitted with an Eco Aire air conditioner, fully stocked mini-bar, digital safe and a 74cm LCD TV with DSTV and selected DVD's.

Our intimate open plan restaurant with magnificent views of the gorge is the place to relax and enjoy a pre-dinner drink with the owners or fellow guests.

Feed your taste buds and indulge your palate while watching our signature chef Deon Kemp as he prepares your delectable fine-dining cuisine OR join in and learn from the master himself. Dinner may also be served in the privacy of your room.

Spoil yourself to a relaxing and rejuvenating experience in our Spa where numerous Dermalogica, Africology and LCN treatments are performed by our dedicated and professional therapists in a breathtaking environment. Lounge around the pool and pamper yourself with a poolside foot massage.

We also offer educational game drives and informative guided walks through the lush indigenous forest as well as to the nearby bat-cave and original bushman paintings
