Esikhotheni, (pronounced “ss-khot-hen”) Zulu for “In the Sticks” is by no means primitive and untamed as the name would suggest. Comfortable and elegant without being fussy, Esikhotheni Lodge celebrates tranquil charm, surrounded by untouched African bush, on a stunning hilltop location overlooking the shimmering Jozini Dam.
Superior accommodation is offered in 7 en-suite chalets, positioned for optimum privacy all have private patios with magnificent magnificent views. The bathrooms are very spacious with large showers and raised oval baths with clear views of Jozini Dam. Our Honeymoon Suite is designed with the more romantic guest in mind, with a private Jacuzzi set on an extended deck in the bush.
Esikhotheni is the ideal venue for that very special and unique bush wedding!
The chalets all have air-conditioning, mini bar with tea & coffee making facilities; luxurious bath essences, lotions etc for your pleasure & comfort, hairdryers and electronic mini-safe for safe keeping of personal items, money etc.
Cheerful and unobtrusive staff will welcome you and add to your memories of your stay at Esikhotheni. For them, going the extra mile is not an effort, but a joyful habit.
Dining at Esikhotheni is an indulgence. Long lazy breakfasts, and delectably elegant dinners are the order of the day - all carefully prepared and beautifully presented by the resident chef. Meals are either served in the traditional boma or in the lodge.
Esikhotheni offers guests an array of activities to choose from - traditional morning and evening game drives, lake cruises on Jozini Dam, Tiger-fishing also in Jozini Dam, and for the more adventurous we have a 4x4 track.
… but the most popular of all … to just relax and indulge in this peaceful, pristine piece of paradise.
