Visitors to Papyrus Lodge have a choice between two exclusive types of accommodation. You can opt to stay in stylish and smart suites in the estate's gracious and elegant Cape colonial architectural style Manor House metres away from the serene lake. Alternatively you can choose to spend your time at Papyrus Lodge by making the romantic and stylish wooden chalets, built on stilts in the lake, your holiday home with a distinct difference. While staying at Papyrus Lodge, you can cool off in the estate's private, fresh-water lake on a balmy summer's day or alternatively try a spot of fishing, row out onto the water or enjoy a leisurely ride on a pedal boat on the lake.

Visitors to Papyrus Lodge also have the opportunity to experience first-hand the area's amazing array of bird- and plantlife. Another option is to simply sit quietly next to the lake and forget all about the daily stresses whilst drinking in the tranquil surroundings. Guests at Papyrus Lodge who need to be in real-time touch with family, friends and business contacts can also do so if they so wish – wireless Internet connections are available to guests.
