Heys Lodge


Maximum Occupancy: 20


Heys lodge consists of a central living area with a bar area leading out onto an extensive deck overlooking the river. It has a large dining room, a cozy lounge with a fireplace, and a fully equipped kitchen leading out into an enclosed braai area. Large fireplaces are located throughout the lodge offering warmth on chilly evenings.


Red wine - or freshly brewed cappuccinos - accompanied by crackling wood fires are as synonymous with winter as the sounds of the river and riverine bird life are with summer.


Lodge guests have exclusive use of the Melrose Summer House and rock pool area. Heys lodge swimming pool is a natural one formed on the Heys Brook millennia ago from molten volcanic rock and can be found several hundred meters upstream of the lodge. The Melrose Summer House next to the swimming area, has a well-equipped kitchen and a large bar area with loungers, chairs and tables. Ideal for lazing, reading, games and swimming, the Melrose Summer House is also suited for sundowners around the fire, evening braais and a base from which to start a walk. Swimming in the natural pool is invigorating (a euphemism for “often chilly”) and safe.

Guest Reviews

Better than expected!
We had a great stay here over Easter with extended family (10 of us), and the lodge was if anything better than expected. Heysbrook is well set up to absorb groups of various sizes, as the rooms are separate to the 2 "lodges" you can book for your group, which have large exclusive spaces to hang out, cook, play games, swim etc. We stayed at Heys Lodge, which was the bigger space, and came with exclusive use of the "Summerhouse" how by the river, with river pool, bar, kitchen, toilet and braai areas. We barely saw the group of guests from the Bokani Forest Lodge, who had their own infinity pool and entertainment areas separate to ours. We didn't have to pick up after ourselves at all with the staff looking after us very well (there was even an option for them to cook for you, which we didn't use). Lots of walks on the property (be warned - lots of hills!) including a walk into the old gold mine up the hill, some indigenous Bokani ruins, and a lovely picnic site up top to walk or drive to (also with braai and toilet facilities).

Very well conceptualised on a lovely property.
