Southern residence

Tucked away in the southern reaches of Welgevonden, The Southern Residence is a private sanctuary where nature, space and silence come together effortlessly.
Designed for exclusive use, the residence offers complete privacy for you and your guests, a place where time slows down and every detail is thoughtfully curated to create a sense of ease and quiet luxury. Overlooking the Sterkstroom valley, one of the reserve’s most active watering points, the lodge offers uninterrupted views of wildlife throughout the day. From the generous private deck, the landscape unfolds in quiet, untamed beauty, raw, untouched, and endlessly captivating. Natural textures, warm earth tones and refined simplicity define the interiors, each element carefully considered to blend seamlessly with the surrounding bush. Every space feels grounded, soft and inviting, offering a subtle balance between understated luxury and the wild beyond. A private team, including a chef, butler and ranger, ensures everything flows effortlessly, creating a seamless and deeply personal experience, allowing you to fully surrender to the rhythm of the bush.
