Chic, even quirky, the four suites and common areas that comprise the Phinda Homestead stand out for their contemporary design flourishes and au courant luxury. A bush home that playfully references 1980s elements in its furnishings, the villa looks out over some of South Africa’s most wildlife-filled, grassy woodlands. Situated on some 70,000 acres of diverse reserve in KwaZulu Natal near the Mkuze Game Reserve, the home easily accommodates families or groups. Unlike many safari properties, Phinda Homestead accepts children of all ages, and features a nanny’s room for ease. Adorned with Zulu art and basketwork, the residence brandishes clever design motifs throughout, such as marble basins shaped like Zulu pots. Various common areas, a gym and massage room, library, kitchen, herb garden and pool provide diversion between game drives led by the on-site dedicated guide and tracker.
