Thulani River Lodge

The word thulani is Zulu for ‘peace and tranquillity’ – the perfect description of this German-run guesthouse, an African-thatched mansion tucked away in a lush valley through which the Disa River flows towards Hout Bay. Lie in the four-poster bed in the honeymoon suite and you’ll be treated to a sweeping panorama of the back of Table Mountain.
