The Shire eco Lodge is extraordinary. Inspired by the desire to create a space truly unique, The Shire will captivate you with its innovative design and magnificent setting.

These luxury chalets rest on the edge of the indigenous Xholora forest in the Amatola Mountains, just a stream’s hop from the enchanted home of many rare species of plants, birds and butterflies.

The perfect getaway for the nature-loving and adventurous types, and the quietude and proximity to town makes it equally ideal for those here on business.

Reclining in a bubble of wood, the tranquility and otherworldliness of the space will soothe, inspire and rejuvenate.

We offer either self-catering accommodation or B&B just outside Stutterheim.

Each elegant open-plan chalet contains a stylish en-suite bathroom with a comfortable shower. Nestled into the side of curved wooden walls lies a voluptuous queen sized bed or two 3/4 beds depending on your preference. Through the striking curved-glass corner window one can experience the forest and feel at unity with nature.

The fully equipped kitchen contains a stove and microwave. Each chalet has its own braai / barbeque facilities where one can spend time enjoying the outdoors.

There are a number of restaurants close by where one can dine in the evenings if too relaxed to cook.

There is a separate ablution facility which contains a bath, if required.
