Through the wrought-iron gates at the end of a bougainvillea-lined drive you will find Plumbago - as pretty as the flower that shares it's name, set on an avocado and banana farm, it sits above the plantation watching over out to the Kruger National Park in the distance. With 1940's jazz in the background it has just the right accompaniment to the nostalgic, colonial-inspired setting. charming air conditioned rooms with sitting areas,en suite bathrooms,tea trays and fine bed linen which have the same casual gracefulness about them with subtle, natural tones, Jacobean print curtains, mahogany beds and abundance of vased and water-colored flowers. The elegant pool and sauna in the beautifully tended bird-filled garden allows for relaxation. The tennis court's viewing lapa includes a mini library with Robbie's history-reading corner ~ Beauty treatments, activities, transfers and Safari's can be arranged ~Children and Pets by arrangement
From Nelspruit take the R40 north to White River.
