Accomodation

All 73 en suite rooms (4 suites and 69 double or twin rooms) have been gracefully designed in variations of English Country Manor style. Rooms that epitomize good taste with stately wooden furniture and rich fabrics.

Facing onto the lake, combined with modern day creature comforts such as 24 hour room service, wireless internet access, direct telephone dialing, DSTV satellite television, mini bars, 16 Hour restaurant services plus an unmatched environment, where one finds oneself surrounded by many species of birds and not forgetting our herds of cows.

Stylish new rooms
African Pride Irene Country Lodge has added 25 newly built rooms to its current 49. The rooms were carefully and stylishly decorated by experienced interior decorator Michele Fortune.

The rooms were decorated with a classical stylish feel including lots of fun elements that reflect South Africa’s uniqueness. Incorporating a theme that would reflect the ambiance of the local dairy farm and Irene area, some local décor accessories were used in the rooms with furniture pieces that were made to suit the style of the lodge - all stylish crafted in an African mahogany wood.

The 15 rooms in the forest are charmingly nestled amongst the trees, with colour schemes in browns, oranges and greens. The spacious rooms are tranquil and cool, and filled with leather, pewter and wood, emphasised by the natural light pouring inside through the sky windows. These rooms were purposely designed to create the feeling of being inside the forest. The rooms are open for bookings and are proving very popular with our GUESTS.
