DESCRIPTION:
 
Tilney Manor has 6 luxuriously appointed rooms. This exclusivity ensures that guests can experience personal service and world-class cuisine in an atmosphere of privacy and tranquility. Comfortable lounges with fireplaces for winter nights, private verandas, romantic freestanding baths and carefully sheltered outdoor showers are just a few of the pleasure that guest can enjoy. More modern comforts include air-conditioning, satellite television, private bars and tea and coffee making facilities. Our fully equipped spa offers guest the opportunity to recover for the rigors of the outside world and restore their sense of inner harmony. This is the perfect environment for rediscovering creativity and regenerating energy. Cape Georgian décor draws on the natural colours of the surrounding stone and vegetation, with subtle touches of San culture influencing the design throughout the guest rooms and conference facility.

Nestled at the foot of the towering warm Waterberg Mountains in the heart of the Little Karoo, Sanbona Wildlife Reserve celebrates the spirit of the San people who once roamed this distinctive area. Sanbona and the spirit of the San people welcome you. More than 54 000 hectares of undulating mountains and plains, indigenous flora and fauna, rock formations and rock art make this a destination not to be missed.

Sanbona Wildlife Reserve is home to free ranging white lions and big game and is situated approximately 3 hours from Cape Town between Montague and Barrydale. One of the true joys of Sanbona is the freedom to do nothing at all in absolute luxury, but for those who choose to venture beyond the comfort of the lodge, a world of new experiences awaits. Allow Sanbona's qualified rangers to lead you in comfortable Land Rovers, or on foot through the bush to spot a wide range of plants and animals. Sunrise and sunset trails lead to secluded rock pools and spectacular examples of San art, with birds of prey soaring above in the blue sky.
