Enjoy Nature
Rain Farm Game and Lodge has utilised the lockdown period to give their accommodation and facilities a fabulous revamp! From some added features to soft touches, the new look in the honeymoon suite and luxury dam units will certainly give you the wow factor! The team has been hard at work over the past few months to ensure that every aspect of the lodge ticks all the right boxes, creating an ideal place to enjoy some time off with friends and family. An exciting new addition to the lodge is the Kids Hub, where parents can safely leave their kids under the care of experienced teachers, and have some time to themselves while enjoying good food and wine. Explore the Calabash wine room for some well-known favourites or that hidden gem yet to be discovered. We can’t wait to welcome back past and future guests for a well-deserved break, only 15 minutes from the heart of Ballito.
