Hopewell Lodge is an exclusive luxury hideaway on a private African game reserve in South Africa's beautiful Eastern Cape. The luxurious lodge nestled in the hillside hosts up to 6 guests and overlooks the wildlife reserve, a reclaimed Eden in a once remote wilderness.

Hopewell is situated 40 minutes drive from Port Elizabeth airport, in malaria free coastal valley bushveld. It is the ideal destination for those seeking privacy, exclusivity, both tranquillity and adventure. Hopewell only hosts small groups to ensure that your experience exceeds your expectation of an unforgettable stay.

Guests enjoy the exclusivity of the 8000-acre authentic African- bush nature reserve. The secluded, spacious lodge, overlooking a panoramic landscape is open aired and light, with thatch insulating against the African summer heat. Fire places strategically positioned throughout the lodge warms against the winter chill. The interior designed living area is comfortably furnished in a classic safari style combined with a contemporary feel. The stylish lounge and dining room leads to a wooden deck with spectacular views of a water hole and lush valleys in the distance. Upstairs hosts an intimate recreation area and our three elegant bedrooms are all equipped with en-suite bathrooms with views of the bush. A separate secluded plunge pool overlooks the unspoiled indigenous forest.

Hopewell Private Game reserve is home to an abundance of flora and fauna including a small heard of elephant, rhino, hippo, giraffe, zebra, cheetah, a variety of antelope and other indigenous wild species consistent with a balanced eco-system. A visit to Hopewell will leave you relaxed, rejuvenated and ready to book your return visit.

"I am a person who loves words and loves to write and Hopewell has filled me with silence and peace and left me speechless."
