Owners Niels & Margret left the Netherlands and started and build Lily Pond Country Lodge in 2002. In the Netherlands we both were in the Dutch Navy till 1989 and later owned a distribution company for Life-style magazines. Passioned about food we added a dining possibility to the lodge and Margret begun as novice chef in the kitchen while Niels was the (also novice) waiter. Being more successful then she thought... we opened our restaurant for our guests in 2005. Together with this alteration we also adde 4 new luxury garden suites. During the winter in 2016 we renovated all our en-suite rooms and luxury suite in the same style as the Luxury garden suites we build in 2005. Since 2016 we have 10 suites and a cosy Zen-style restaurant that we run together with our 12 enthusiastic staff members. After all these years of hard work we still enjoy our life style here in this beautiful part of South Africa. We are proud of our lodge and restaurant and look forward to share this with our guests.
