Welcome….
Your host, Ferdie of Bokmakierie Country Lodge, welcomes you to our establishment on the golf course. Relax in a tranquil ambiance while enjoying a sundowner on the rolling lawns with a view of the Golf course. Observe the antelope and ostrich in the game reserve, and experience an awesome sunset over the Drakensberg as a back drop.
Introduction to Bokmakierie Country Lodge
Take a scenic drive to the historical town of Ladysmith nestled in the heart of the Battlefields with the majestic Drakensberg mountains as a backdrop.

The next morning, enjoy a scrumptious full English breakfast (next to the pool in summer).  After that, enjoy our recreational facilities, relax in the Turkish steam room, and experience the jet pool, Jacuzzi and swimming pool. Feed the fish in the pond. Go for a game of golf on the course.
Let us pack a picnic basket for you with all the necessaries and have a wonderful outing to the Spionkop or Weenen Game Reserves. Watch the rhino, giraffe, buffalo and a variety of antelope roaming around.
