Enjoy the pool and hot tub

Take a refreshing swim or soak under the stars in the wood-fired kol-kol tub for the ultimate relaxation experience.

Self check-in

Easy and convenient lockbox access lets you check yourself in at your own pace.

The space

The Nautilus House offers two self-catering units, booked together for your exclusive use. Couples will enjoy the upstairs main section, while groups of three or more will have access to the downstairs area. Both units ensure complete privacy, with no other guests on the property.

Wake up to curious birdlife, take picturesque walks to the Salt River, or wander through lush forest trails nearby. The spacious decks, pizza oven, and braai are perfect for leisurely lunches or moonlit dinners with friends and family.

Strong WiFi throughout makes this an ideal spot for remote work in a peaceful, natural setting.

Guest access

You’ll have the entire house and grounds to yourself—no other guests will share the property during your stay.

Other things to note

• Watch out for the friendly Vervet Monkeys; please keep food stored and avoid feeding them.
