Ants Nest
Ant’s Nest is where it all began. Lying in a natural
amphitheatre the original homestead, with its wide verandahs,
has a classic African atmosphere. The luxurious en-suite rooms
accommodate a maximum of only twelve guests (6 bedrooms). Tessa,
who grew up in Kenya, brought the colonial home a stylish warmth
using classic furniture fashioned from local fabrics, timber and
stone. There is a 15 meter pool in the garden, ideal for those
needing some exercise or great for kids or purely cooling off
after a day of riding, it is heated all year round. Extensive
lawns and beds of indigenous plants surround the pool and home
and there is a wonderful thatched chill out spot with vast sofa
beds to relax on during the heat of the day. A wide variety of
game frequents the waterhole in front of the house where horses
and dogs abound.
Ant’s Nest is booked predominantly on an exclusive basis i.e. to
one group of guests at a time, although out of high season you
can also book just one room.
The concept we strive for is to create a bush home experience
where one can become part of a working reserve and learn about
the bush by experiencing being part of it from horseback. Wake
up times, meals, activities etc are all dictated by our guests
as we try to tailor make their stay. Guests are always welcome
to join in on any management activities on the reserves such as
game capture and relocation, treating injured animals, burning
firebreaks, doing game census on horseback etc.
