In our June issue of Getaway Magazine, we put together a few big-budget bucket-list items. We have listed them below, in case you missed them:
1. Umvangati House, Blyde River Canyon
This contemporary hideaway in the middle of the bush has wraparound views of greenery and the mountains that form the famous canyon.
From R6 780 for a double room. umvangati.co.za

2. The Outpost, Kruger National Park
Each of the 12 slick rooms at this luxury lodge have foldaway glass doors, which means you can lounge in bed or in the bath and gaze at the expanse of bush and Luvuvhu River, which is a soap’s throw away.
From R7 400 per person sharing, including meals and activities. rareearth.co.za

3. Tinyeleti Treehouse, Kruger National Park
Essentially a 50-square-metre wooden deck set on the banks of the Sabie River, your views in the day are of the animals that come to quench their thirst, and at night of the stars above your head, as the treehouse is completely open to the elements.
From R3 950 per person sharing, including a picnic dinner and drinks. lionsands.co.za

4. St Helier Beach House, KZN South Coast
The outdoor entertainment deck at this modern, uber-stylish seaside home has ridiculous views of the Indian Ocean which, if you’re lucky, is often alive with dolphins. Poolside couches make sea-staring that much more comfy.
From R4 500 a night (sleeps six adults and four children). perfecthideaways.co.za

5. The Silo, Cape Town
With floor-to-ceiling glass, this designer addition to the V&A Waterfront, at the top of the city’s internationally lauded architectural marvel, has views of Table Mountain, the city, the harbour and pretty much everything in between.
From R13 500 per person. theroyalportfolio.com
