&Beyond Phinda Homestead blends seamlessly into the natural surroundings, while the lodge’s living areas consist of open spaces, flat-roofed walkways, and shaded areas opening out onto sun decks and a sparkling swimming pool. Designed like a contemporary bush farmhouse, &Beyond Phinda Homestead is both elegant and homely. Inspired by the breathtaking landscape and the local Zulu culture, shaded, flat-roofed walkways flow into open decks, while basketwork, pottery, carpets and textiles are celebrated interior elements. Quirky design touches, like the pineapple motifs, pay homage to the history of the land, before being reclaimed and transformed into a renowned Big Five game reserve.
Four private bedrooms, each with a double or twin option, has a spacious en-suite bathroom that blends seamlessly into cool, expansive, and inviting guest spaces. The four bedrooms are split in half by the expansive lounge, dining room and interactive kitchen that brings the lodge’s private chef into the centre of the guest experience. Off to the side, you can enjoy the library, private massage sala and gym – exclusive to you and your guests. Outside, enjoy the enormous firepit that overlooks your personal fully stocked bar and your private rim-flow swimming pool. An additional 5th room, equipped with twin beds, is available but may be subject to additional charges due to the number of people on a private vehicle.
The villa is available only on a sole-use basis.
