SCALARHONEY LODGE - Twee Riviere

Scalarhoney Lodge offers a One-Bedroom Chalet with a fully equipped kitchen and a private bathroom. The bed is comfortable, and the bedding is exceptional. The room includes a two-burner hob (one burner may need adjustment), and the fridge might not work, so a cooler with frozen water bottles is supplied. The host provides firewood for campfire cooking. The kitchen has a cast iron Dutch oven and cookware. There is no heat in the cabin, but the host addresses issues as needed.

Guests cook their own meals using the provided campfire and kitchen equipment. The host, Andre, supplies firewood and kindling from the undergrowth. The "BeachBar" has a freezer 50 meters away for storing frozen items. No restaurant is on site; guests must bring all supplies, as going to town takes a major effort.

The lodge has a year-round outdoor swimming pool (the swimming holes are not a proper pool but are wonderful for swimming in the heat of the day). Guests can hike anywhere they want, enjoy the garden, and relax by the river. The property features a garden and a private bathroom. The lodge is open all year.
