Unique 2-story tower with 360° wildlife views and stargazing showers.
The Watch Tower is a two-story retreat once used as a horse-racing lookout. With a bedroom offering 360-degree views of the private wildlife sanctuary, a kitchen and dining space downstairs, and a private outdoor deck, it is designed for couples or solo travelers seeking nature and peace. The enclosed double shower under the stars makes for an unforgettable experience.

Such a peaceful refuge. We were able to observe lots of animals, including giraffes from very close. I liked that there are no noisy safari-style jeeps. One can quietly walk, ride, boat, or cycle around. The vibe is simple and caring. The watchtower is a cosy hideout with a great view. The staff is wonderful. And the indoor/outdoor restaurant is *amazing*. Every meal we ate there was exquisite. Thank you.
