A Quintessential Bush Moment

Waterside offers every guest those quintessential bush moments – the sundowners where you inhale the scent of the potato bush, the lazy lunchtime siestas when the African sun kisses your daydreams, and the still afternoons when you rock yourself gently into a contemplative state whilst lying in a swing bed, watching nearby nyala grazing.

We arrived to the most gorgeous setup for sunset drinks - and it almost had me in tears! I had never seen anything more romantic. From the lanterns, to a line up of my favourite gins to the prawn tacos - it will be a core memory I take with me for a long time.

A special thank you to Sherine & Matt - for surprising us when we least expected it! We will miss you all so much.

At Waterside, these key experiences are backdropped by the colours and textures of the bush, as depicted and reflected by Liz Biden in her most vital, triumphant décor scheme yet.

Waterside is much more than “just” another luxury lodge – it’s a destination with a unique sense of place, where Liz Biden has lovingly crafted a bold new African canvas on which guests can write their own safari stories.

Liz’s signature style expertly combines bright, opulent artworks and intriguing designs to create a sense of harmony, and gives warmth and fascination to every space.

Waterside has a unique atmosphere that complements the beauty of its natural surroundings – there’s magic to be found around every corner, just as there is in the African bushveld.
