Rock is a very unusual safari lodge. Each of the six rooms (which are enormous) have a cave-like feel, as if they are carved out of the hillside. Outside is a lovely terrace with plunge pool - too cold for us, but we enjoyed watching the nyala stop by for a drink! As with other &Beyond lodges in South Africa,... More

We spent three nights at this lodge and had a memorable experience! The six rooms that make up this property are nicely done and very comfortable; the staff is outstanding, willing to fulfil all our wishes and more! The rangers and spotters are extremely knowledgable and excited about being "at work". I would recommend this Reserve and this Lodge in... More

This was our third &Beyond lodge in South Africa and we stayed 3 nights. We also stayed at Vlei Lodge and Ngala Tented Camp. Rock is unique. It is built into the rock and has 6 unique rooms. We were fortunate to be at the top of the hill in room #1, which has magnificent sweeping views of the valley... More

We had an excellent time and would recommend the location to anyone looking for a great combination of luxury lodging, good food and fun game viewing. The &Beyond team helped us book everything, including our in-country transfers and were... More

We spent 3 nights at Rock Lodge and 2 nights at Vlei Lodge, and also got to see Forest Lodge... and out of them all, Rock Lodge was my favourite. The rooms managed to combine spaciousness and luxury with a sense of cosiness and feeling close to nature. I loved the outdoor shower, and the bath that overlooked the bush... More

We flew in from Richards Bay to Phinda Forest Lodge, with 17 cottages....very very nice, but have heard that the smaller Vlei Lodge is even better. Loved Rock Lodge...only 6 rooms, very private & very cozy with fireplaces & luxury all the way around. Games drives twice a day, champagne surprises in the afternoons, outdoor breakfasts on safari, candelight everywhere.... More

We travelled in a small group of 12 and had the lodge to ourselves. Rock Lodge is called the Flintstones because of the accommodation lodges style but make no mistake,the accommodation is some of the best you will experience. Fantastic vistas from the outdoor dining area. Rooms have complimentary mini-bar, Leather chairs with binoculars and a decanter of sherry to... More

Phinda Rock Lodge was an exceptional place with a wonderful mountain view. My wife and I spent 3 nights at the Rock and 3 nights at the Vlei. Although our stay at he Rock was exceptional as was the food, staff and accommodations, we preferred the Vlei because of its atmosphere and open panoramic views. Both locations are entitled to...
