Eco-Chalets

Eco-chalets for families, friends and longer stays

Our four beautifully crafted, timber eco-chalets offer simplicity, privacy and comfort. Wake to a rising sun and the quiet movement of wildlife. Spend slow mornings on your private deck, and cool evenings beside a wood-burning fireplace.

Fully equipped kitchens support easy self-catering, while breakfast prepared by Angelique and delivered to your chalet brings fresh, locally sourced ingredients to begin the day well. End your day with a campfire under open skies – looking out towards these Ramsar-designated wetlands and up towards the bright constellations.

Designed with families in mind, the chalets are ideal for weekend escapes or longer, restorative stays. Built from natural materials and entirely off-grid, they reflect Reflections’ eco-conscious philosophy. Renewable energy systems reduce impact while maintaining everyday ease – an experience of living lightly within a protected landscape.

Glamping tents

En-suite glamping surrounded by nature

Set apart for privacy and quiet, our en-suite glamping tents offer an intimate way to experience the sounds, scents and night skies of the Wilderness Lakes. Here canvas walls draw you closer to the surrounding landscape, creating a stay that feels both sheltered from and connected to nature.

Each tent features a comfortable queen-size bed and a spacious deck overlooking the wild landscape. A private en-suite bathroom with the option of an open-air shower creates a unique moment rarely found in conventional accommodation. The glamping tents are just a short walk from the Rondevlei, a Ramsar-designated wetland of international importance.

Begin the day with a fresh, locally prepared breakfast by Angelique, delivered to your tent. And end your day beside a private campfire under expansive, star-filled skies. Like the chalets, the tents are fully off-grid, encouraging disconnection from screens and reconnection with the natural world. Breakfast and guided experiences are included, allowing your time here to unfold without planning or urgency.

Timber architecture that stores rather than emits carbon

Locally sourced, nourishing breakfasts prepared on site

Experiences and guiding included, supporting restoration of the Wilderness Lakes landscape

Your stay not only helps to restore you, but also helps to heal the land, contributing to the protection and recovery of this landscape. Find out more here about our conservation journey.
