Askari Game Lodge & Spa press release

ASKARI LODGE LAUNCHES WEDDING FRIENDLY OPTION
WITH SELF-CATERING UNITS


Known for its Elephant proposals, Big 5 game drives and glorious Sunday lunches, Askari Game Lodge & Spa just outside of Magalies is now opening its doors wide for bridal parties and their families, with eight new family units. The lodge is immensely popular with international and local bridal couples, due to the unique photo opportunities with its two elephant.

The eight new units consist of two Garden Cottages and six Garden Suites. All units overlook a sparkling pool and the Magalies mountain range in the distant. This brings the total of conference or leisure guests which Askari Lodge can accommodate at any given time to 48 singles or 96 guests, sharing.

The tin-roofed, rough plaster units have a distinct farmhouse look. The dark grey exteriors blend effortlessly with the natural surrounds while spacious patios (stoeps) provide a respite from the warm day after a game drive. Braai facilities are included at each unit.

The two Garden Cottages have three bedrooms and a lounge with a sleeper couch. The unit can be made up for single or double occupancy per room and can accommodate a maximum of 8 guests. A fully equipped kitchen makes self-catering meals for families possible, even though the hotel rate includes breakfast. Guest opting for the self-catering cottages do have the option of lunch and dinner at the lodge, at a 10% discount.


Six Garden Suites each have one bedroom and a lounge with a sleeper couch. These units are semi-detached and can be sold as one joint unit which are ideal for families and wedding guests.

Kosie Pansegrouw, Managing Director of Guvon Hotels & Spas explains that the extensions and addition to room capacity was in the pipeline all along: “Due to high demand from wedding  guests, we felt that the time was right to proceed with the addition of the new luxury family chalets in Phase 2. This will afford families the opportunity of experiencing Askari Game Lodge & Spa as a family unit and will be very popular with wedding groups and guests.”

Askari Game Lodge & Spa  is a ten minute drive  (11,4 km) from Magaliesburg along the R560 Rustenburg  Road,  with Harbeespoort Dam only 35 min (41,6 km) away via the R560.
