STAY HERE: NATURE AWAITS AT FIFTY SEVEN WATERBERG AFTER COVID-19

Living in South Africa comes withthe unhindered gift of nature onour doorstep, the freedom to visitthe bushveld as and when we wantto. Unfortunately, since mid-MarchSouth Africa has been facing anational lockdown, prohibitingnature lovers from hitting the roadto unwind at their favourite luxurybushveld breakaway.

The national lockdown hasposed many challenges for touristdestinations like Fifty SevenWaterberg, by imposing travelrestrictions on international andnational travel for recreationalpurposes. Anticipation is rife thatpotentially by September localtourism will be allowed to operateagain, offering a great opportunityfor South Africans to stretch theirlegs and breathe in the fresh bushveld air like never before.

Fifty Seven Waterberg, based in the Welgevonden Nature Reserve, is one of South Africa’s finest luxury guest lodges. Just three hours’ drive away from Johannesburg, the lodge is ready to share their panoramic views and quality contemporary living with you.

Just before the world changed unapologetically, Fifty Seven Waterberg introduced five luxurious yet understated suites, woven into the fabric of the bushveld. The architects were so struck by the beauty of the position, they stated: “Our first impressions were of the landscape, the sight that lay before us – the trees, the bushveld, the layers of the Waterberg. We felt that the key to the design was respecting the context and, most importantly, create a design where the suites almost disappear into the landscape.”

Each luxury suite has its own private outlook onto the surrounding bushveld. All suites are elevated off the ground, enhancing the sense of openness and freedom – and an opportunity to blend with nature. Because of the positioning of each private suite, once the retractable doors are completely open, one can enjoy fresh breezes within the privacy of your own suite or relax in your own private splash pool.

“Classified as a low-risk COVID-19 area, the lodge has ample space between their rooms, the dining area and on the decks. The safety and health of our staff and guests are always our main priority and, once we have been given the go-ahead to reopen, we will be implementing strict hygiene protocols and encourage social distancing at all times,” says Managing Director Quintin Wiehahn.
