Poona Lodge

Poona Lodge is a stopover for holiday and business travelers located a short distance outside of Phalaborwa on the Mica/Hoedspruit road. It offers an oasis of peace and tranquility under shady indigenous trees which host an abundance of bird life. The lodge has a simple African taste and subtle luxury at affordable rates, with excellent personal service.

The accommodation consists of a lovely thatch lodge with nine bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. Breakfast is served in the dining room, out in the garden, or around the pool. Evening meals are typically enjoyed around a blazing wood fire under the stars, with traditional braai and side dishes being the most popular options, allowing guests to chat and make new friends.

Guests are welcome to wander throughout the property and experience the call of the bushveld. The prolific bird life and indigenous trees have been preserved with utmost care. Guests can sample the exotic fruit of the marula tree that grows on the premises.

Visitors can relax at the poolside and enjoy a sundowner at the licensed bar. An evening swim in the pool, which is surrounded by boulders and lush gardens, is an absolute pleasure in the tropical climate. For sports fans, there is a separate TV with DStv in the lapa adjoining the bar, where a variety of different drinks can be enjoyed.

All rooms are air-conditioned and have overhead fans and mosquito nets. The comfortable double or three-quarter beds are covered in cool cotton percale sheets to ensure a good night's rest.
