The wooden chalets sleep between 2 to 4 guests, each featuring comfortable bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms, fully equipped kitchens, and private braai areas. Many also include a wood-fired hot tub or outdoor bath for the ultimate in forest-side relaxation.

The Thunzi Stargazing Dome consists of 3 interconnected pods. A bedroom, kitchenette, and bathroom. The dome sleeps 2 guests. The bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed, a bath and shower, and its own private wood-fired hot tub on the deck overlooking the wetlands.
