When their neighbours sold their property with spectacular ocean and mountain views, it created an opportunity for these home owners to extend their business and manage an adjoining exclusive guest house. Nosipho Lodge is now a fully fledged upmarket luxury guest house.
A warm welcome is extended to guests entering this lodge. A state of the art water feature in the foyer exudes a sense of tranquillity, setting the tone for what is to follow: all things beautiful and exquisite. A stunning collection of art adorns the walls, from the foyer all the way through to every bedroom, bar, lounge and entertainment area.
Practical issues such as bright light that may be disturbing were addressed through the installation of shutters, and gas fireplaces feature everywhere enhancing convenient heating methods in rooms. Suites are meticulously furnished and finished with tastefully selected items. Design Studio created an air of luxurious sophistication with exquisite drapery and delicate soft furnishings in stunning tones and textures of imported fabrics.
Elegant bathrooms are fitted with beautiful boutique baths and state of the art bathroomware. Interesting combinations of floor tiles create perfect visual blends and underfoot comfort not to be underestimated.
Luxury carpets in the bedrooms and other entertainment areas round off the subtle air of interior sophistication.
Most bedrooms and entertainment areas enjoy the benefit of adjoining outdoor areas, in the form of garden patios, swimming pools with innovative timber deck creations, as well as outdoor garden spaces where a magnificent collection of indigenous trees and plants now grow.
