Two superb lodges offering luxury accommodation

At Ubuntu Lodge and Nosipo Lodge, guests are given the choice of having a fully catered stay or the option of self catering. The two lodges are adjacent to each other but enjoy their own privacy. They can be let as individual lodges for families or groups seeking a "private villa" holiday.

Either lodge is able to be used for special functions respectively or in combination. SW1 provides special events function support. We are an ideal venue for small weddings, anniversary celebrations, product launches, wine tasting events and workshops. We are also able to provide superior luxury accommodation for larger wedding parties or conferences that require guests to be accommodated.

Our therapists are highly trained and devoted and passionate about what they do. Every SW1 guest receives a complimentary welcome Indian Head and Neck Massage.
