DescriptionYour own Private African Retreat, Dalton Private Reserve offers you the exclusive use of its 7000 acre estate, your time here tailored to create the experience you want from Africa.There are three accommodation experiences at Dalton Private Reserve, each of which has its own unique character.
The one-bedroomed Lake Cottage – tucked away in the heart of Dalton Private Reserve – is an expression of understated luxury, designed to provide privacy and an appreciation of seclusion, immersed in the natural beauty of the reserve. With a combination of elegant surroundings and the peace and quiet of the African bush, the Lake Cottage is perfect as a romantic honeymoon getaway.
Experience true Zulu hospitality at its best in the unique lodge of Zulu Waters. It is the rivers that define the features of Dalton, and this lodge takes full advantage of their scenic beauty with its location overlooking the Bushman’s river.Built with local stone and thatch, the rustic exteriors of the suites belie the warmth that awaits the visitor. The true comfort of this lodge is found upon entering to find a space lit with candles and lamps, and beds bedecked with the finest linens, all in the glow of wood fires. The lodge boasts six double suites, four of which are en suite, providing accommodation for up to twelve persons.
Visitors to lodge, cottage and house are provided with a private chef. Many of the ingredients used for the meals are drawn from the reserve itself, from Blesbuck venison to organic vegetables. All beverages, with the exception of fine wines and champagne, are also included. The Dalton House wine cellar completes a well-considered food experience; the owner’s private wine collection awaits their exploration and is sure to yield some of its treasures to a discerning wine lover.
