Forest Creek nestles in a gorge of the Steenkampsburg Mountains, which is the end of the Drakensberg Mountain range. Set in a Private Nature reserve of the Mpumalanga escarpment. The gorge is softened only by a blanket of shrubs and trees which have grown in this malaria-free zone over millennia.
It is only when one gets to the gate of Forest Creek Lodge that the rock-strewn grassland is left behind, one climbs up, and up, and enter this little enchanted world. This winter come and enjoy some good food and wine snuggled in front of our log Fireplaces, and go home feeling indulged.

Historical influence is evident everywhere in Mpumalanga, from the legendary King Solomon and Queen Sheba to the ancient floating villages of Chrissiesmeer.
At Forest creek one can see the remains of ancient villages, home to Africa's earliest peoples. They can be found everywhere, by your lodge suite, along the Hiking trails, and by the stream...

Day visitors are welcome, and can book any of our activities - cost per person is R50.00

On this magnificent piece of land we hope we have catered for everyone, from Luxury guest suites at the main lodge* to the Forest Cottage, Bee Eater, The Beach Cottage & Sunbird self catering options. During the cooler months, come and enjoy the Big Fireplace in the Lodge Lounge. There are hiking trails along the stream under the canopy of trees. Treat yourself to an hour or two of relaxation in our Forest Spa - Click here or on the link at the top of this page for details.

Wi-Fi is available on request at the Lodge, or bring your own portable 3G connector.

* Please note: to ensure your privacy, Lodge Suites are not adjoined to the main lodge, requiring a short walk to the communal lodge areas.

About the Owners

We originate from Natal, and over the years we have had the opportunity to live and work in some wonderful places: Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Namibia and lastly Mpumalanga.
Mush and Anita first came to Mpumalanga in 2002, we spent many a month looking for the right property to build our dream, it was by chance that we stumbled across Forest Creek. It took us two years to build our little lodge, taking as much of the natural materials available to create this lodge. We opened in 2004 with Michael & Maxine Daniel’s wedding, which was a success.
Our first application for our star grading was in February 2005.

A question often asked is

"Where are you?"

Our reply is, if one was in Dullstroom (the town closest to us as the crow flies) and 'jumped off the mountain', you would land in our gorge.
See Map on Contact page for directions.

Great news! As at November 2022, the R36 from Bambi (N4) to our Rustenburg dirt road is new, and the R36 from Lydenburg to the Rustenburg dirt road is currently being resurfaced/replaced.
