True country living in every sense

Three star rated Leeuwenbosch Country House in the Amakhala Game Reserve  is a gracious colonial country house set amidst beautiful indigenous gardens, offering a family safari experience steeped in settler history.

Accommodation at Leeuwenbosch includes the historic Country House and the newer Shearers Lodge Suites. The Country House, built in 1908, offers five spacious en-suite bedrooms, and is layered with a collection of historical images, documents, and furniture dating back to the 1800s. Set back from the Country House, Shearers Lodge offers four more contemporary double suites, overlooking a cool low-roofed verandah and tranquil swimming pool.

Savour a quiet moment in the dim stillness of the 19th-century stone chapel. Enjoy high tea in the shade of the verandah. Sit late into the night in the convivial stone-walled cellar bar. This wonderful homestead has been in the Fowlds family for five generations, and the family takes great pleasure in sharing its remarkable Southern African family heritage with you.

Rooms:

The Country House ( 4 suites) on Leeuwenbosch caters for the whole family. We offer two family suites, baby sitting services and a children’s programme.

Shearer’s Lodge has been beautifully converted into four luxury en–suite rooms, all twins that can be converted into doubles and surrounded by indigenous gardens.

Location:

• Follow the N2 from Port Elizabeth to Grahamstown (+- 70km). 
• Turn RIGHT onto the R342 to Alexandria (Karl Landman Monument). DO NOT take the R342 to Paterson. The right hand turn onto the R342 is exactly 3km further down the N2. Go through the security gate. Follow the signs to Leeuwenbosch.
