Welcome to
Graceland Eco Retreat

A tranquil slice of South African bushveld & mountian ranges. Graceland sits at the northern tip of the Drakensberg in Limpopo.

Graceland
Eco Retreat welcomes you.

Bordering the indigenous forests and plantations of Magoebaskloof, Graceland Eco Retreat offers guests the opportunity to enjoy a unique type of Mountain Bushveld overlooking the Kudu River Valley.

Graceland has a variety of game you can catch a glimpse of whilst hiking, enjoying your morning coffee or a sundowner on one of our terraces or pergolas with a view of the valley.

Our restaurant PAUSE is situated in a converted steel barn with glass walls overlooking the Kudu River Valley. The restaurant is styled with a collection of art created by a range of contemporary South African artists.

Graceland is an eco-conscious retreat for people that want to be close to and enjoy nature. We are totally off the grid and use solar power for all lights, fridges, and geysers. Water is provided via a solar-powered borehole. As an eco-retreat, we aim to create a space to rejuvenate your soul. Needless to say, at the retreat, no loud noise or music is allowed. No children under the age of 16 years or infants are accommodated.

Graceland is a small family-operated lodge, and your hosts Anders and Douglas will ensure that your stay at Graceland Eco Retreat will be a memorable, relaxing, and exciting experience.
