Six of the suites are located on the ground floor and six more on the upper floor. Four of the suites are also interconnected, making them ideal for families with children. In general, all suites can accommodate two adults and one child. All guest rooms are equipped with air conditioning for hot summer days and underfloor heating for cosy warmth on colder winter nights. The en-suite bathrooms have a shower and a free-standing bathtub, and the private deck or balcony of each suite offers a breathtaking view of the natural beauty of the mesmerising landscape.

Culinary

At Sanbona Gondwana Family Lodge, attention is paid to every detail - and this is also reflected in the cuisine. The philosophy of head chef Tim du Preez is to capture the diverse flavours of the Klein Karoo, combine them in unusual ways and thus create a culinary adventure on the plate. He only uses ingredients that he has lovingly grown and produced himself or that come from farmers and food producers in the immediate vicinity of the lodge. This makes each dish unique, which guests can enjoy either in the lodge's dining area or under the vast African starry sky in the traditional boma.
