Lush is located on the Black Rhino Game Reserve – a private concession area within the malaria-free greater Pilanesberg National Park. Tucked into a wooded hillside, Lush is a contemporary lodge, shaped around the environment. Minimalistic décor and natural finishes put the focus on the view, at once drawing guests to outdoor living spaces. The lodge’s five individual, luxury suites afford the privacy of home, while the main lodge – run on Italian hospitality – ensures you are very well taken care of.
Accommodation
The multi-level interior, flowing into exterior spaces – made up of a bar, dining area, sunken lounges, and a wrap-around viewing deck – are designed for outdoor living.
