The Rondavels are set in the beautifully landscaped garden of the original family holiday camp and one can still feel their old bushveld charm upon entering. The Rondavels have been decorated to pay tribute to Oupa Dries and Ouma Anna Steyn, without whom Elephant Plains Game Lodge would not have existed.
The Rondavels feature sundecks, air conditioning, overhead fans, mosquito nets, electronic safes, as well as mini bars and tea & coffee facilities. While being elegant and luxurious, the Rondavels offer great value for money and affordable game lodge accommodation.
