It’s better in the bush | The Planner

What a year it’s been

Legacy Hotel’s Kwa Maritane Bush Lodge will leave a lasting legacy in the minds of your staff and clients. In fact, it’s a place they’ll want to return to for both business and play.

This year saw the completion of the latest phase of the Kwa Maritane Bush Lodge refurbishment programme when it reopened the Executive Block of forty hotel rooms, in a king or twin configuration. Pamper yourself in one of the executive rooms, complete with the full list of standard features: individual air conditioning, DStv, direct-dial telephones, electric shaving plugs, coffee and tea-making facilities, hairdryer, international multi-plugs, electronic safes and a minibar. With new upholstery, linen, improved lighting, art work and modern decor, these rooms are the ultimate in indulgent luxury – in the middle of wildest Africa!

The new Kwa Spa opened towards the end of 2011 and was nominated for the Spa of the Year Award at the 2012 Professional Beauty Awards. At the same awards, the manager, Marlene van der Spuy, was awarded the Spa Manager of the Year Award. The new gym, with treadmills, bicycles and free standing weights, has been a big hit with guests who want to squeeze in som exercise while indulging in the decadences of the hotel’s exquisite menus.

The Kwa Bush Boma has been upgraded and showcases South African food, culture and hospitality. Guests will be welcomed to the Boma by a drummer, the beat of the marimba and served a feast of meats grilled to perfection. A large variety of pots, including game meat, traditional pap and sheba, and vegetables, all slowly simmering over the open coals, as well as a selection of mouthwatering desserts, make the Kwa Boma a feast to remember.

Selected as a National Finalist in the AA Accommodation Awards, Kwa Maritane offers tailor-made conference packages unique to your requirements, and with the Lodge’s legendary game drives, Kwa Maritane creates the ultimate conference and leisure venue.
