Coombs Lodge

 
 

Description

Situated just 20 minutes on the East London side of Grahamstown, half-way between Capetown and Durban, Coombs Lodge is a unique and special bush-camp that can accommodate up to sixteen guests.

The main complex is a stone and thatch bush lodge, with two bedrooms set adjacent to the main Lounge and Living area, connected by thatched walk-ways. Nestled in amongst Eastern Cape valley-bushveld the Lodge teems with a variety of bird species and small game. The core living area has a comfortable lounge and dining-room, an open-plan kitchen, a sheltered braai area and a shaded deck looking onto the Lodge pool.

Accommodation comprises a twin and double room with en suite showers and toilets at the main Lodge, a self-contained Family Cottage, and a Tented Camp sleeping eight, set across two twin sites and one four bed family site. The Cottage and Camp are set privately, adjacent to the main Lodge. Both are separately listed and can be booked independently of the Lodge.

Although primarily self-catering, DIY breakfasts and braai dinners can be provided by special arrangement.

The Lodge is easily accessible to Grahamstown and its schools and University and it is an ideal venue for hosting small special functions and family gatherings.

Great location, great lodge

Highly recommend staying here. We had a lovely room, enjoyed use of the braai and endless supply of firewood. We drove around the game farm and enjoyed the animals and the amazing sunset.

What a wonderful stay! Coombs is set in a peaceful environment, is tranquil, and is a wonderful place to get away from it all. All amenities are provided for. This is a place where you can connect with your family and spend quality time without the buzz of modern living. You leave feeling rejuvenated, relaxed and content.
Well run
