Fernery Lodge & Chalets

Top choice in Eastern Cape


Hugging the edge of a cliff overlooking the Sandrift River gorge, the Fernery takes full advantage of its dramatic setting. Luxurious chalets and suites are scattered throughout; a hot tub hovers over the void; and the restaurant is a cosy nook with floor-to-ceiling windows. Activities include walking and biking. Access is via a good gravel road from the N2.
