Stanford Lake Lodge

Stanford Lake Lodge is an idyllic self-catering accommodation facility nestled in the high country of Haenertsburg/Magoebaskloof, Limpopo Province, less than three hours from Pretoria. The property features seven distinct accommodation options overlooking a 17-hectare lake, whose waterfall feeds the Ebenezer Dam.

The upmarket accommodation includes four log cabins. The Double Storey Cabin offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, accommodating up to ten guests, while the Single Storey Cabin houses six guests in three bedrooms with one bathroom. The Four Bedroom Cabin provides space for eight guests with two bathrooms, and the intimate Honeymoon Cabin features an open-plan design with stunning lake and forest views.

Three budget-friendly cottage options are available, positioned 300 meters from the lake and adjacent to indigenous forest. These include two Two-Bedroom Cottages (Side and Front) sleeping four guests each, and a Four-Bedroom Cottage accommodating eight guests with two bathrooms.

The 127-hectare farm offers numerous recreational activities, including trout and bass fishing in Stanford Lake, mountain biking along a 9km trail, and a 2.4km indigenous forest walk. The property is part of the Capricorn-Letaba Birding Route, boasting over 200 bird species, including Fish Eagles. The lodge maintains a peaceful atmosphere with a no-pet policy and restrictions on loud music. While there are no TVs in the units, nearby establishments offer viewing facilities for sports enthusiasts.

The location serves as a gateway to the Kruger National Park and provides access to various outdoor activities such as hiking, horse riding, canoeing, and 4x4 trails. The nearby Growth Centre offers therapeutic treatments, including foot massages, for guests seeking relaxation.
