The Royal Portfolio in South Africa has announced its latest family-friendly addition, Waterside at Royal Malewane.
Waterside, the 12-bedroom lodge, is a contemporary combination of glass, steel and thatch, which maximizes on the view of an expansive waterhole. As with The Lodge, The Farmstead and Africa House at Royal Malewane in the Greater Kruger National Park, the aim at Waterside is to provide visitors with personalized service and game viewing.
Built to be family-friendly, Waterside welcomes children of all ages and accommodates guests in a curated selection of four luxury one-bedroom suites; two one-bedroom Aloe suites; a two-bedroom suite; and Waterside House, a four-bedroom villa. Good to know: Every room has a private deck with a pool and bright interiors with artwork.
There are also single and double spa-treatment rooms and a hammam offering a range of treatments, besides a gym and yoga/meditation room, wine cellar, games room, and a children’s entertainment area.
“In honoring the African bush’s natural ecosystem, the lodge has implemented The Royal Portfolio’s widely adopted promise to operate sustainably and with consideration for the earth, now, and in the future,” said Matthew Biden, CEO of The Royal Portfolio, in a press statement. “The core of our purpose and values is to contribute to the conservation of our physical environment, and to invest in the future of our neighbors in the community, with whom we share this natural heritage,” he added.
“The guides and trackers are part of the Royal Malewane family, well known as the most qualified guiding team in Africa, and especially equipped to create an engaging and exciting experience for young families,” said Simon Mandy, managing director of The Royal Portfolio.
Rates are inclusive of all accommodations, meals, drinks (including fine South African wines), twice-daily game drives and bush walks.
