Morukuru Owner's House
Madikwe & the WaterbergThis luxury boutique retreat is hidden under ancient Morukuru trees on the banks of the Marico River, in the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve, in South Africa.
Built from wood, stone and glass, and surrounded by expansive decks and balconies, Owner’s House blends contemporary European style with African influences. This ultra-stylish property accommodates up to four guests two enormous and beautifully appointed bedrooms with king-size beds and luxurious bathrooms.
Owner’s House comes with a team of eight staff including a butler, a chef, a sommelier and a nanny, if needed. It features a state-of-the-art wine cellar, fully equipped private kitchen and all-modern amenities. Game drives and a 4WD vehicle are included.
An array of dining options is on offer from casual snacks to elegant fine dining. Enjoy breakfasts on a nearby mountaintop, lavish riverside picnics, delightful bush meals or sumptuous dinners in the Boma.
After a tiring day, laze by the stunning infinity pool; sip a cocktail on the deck as you enjoy the peaceful natural surroundings; or have a soak under the stars in the outdoor bath.
