Karkloof Spa- Wellness and Wildlife Retreat, in association with the Midamar Mile, would like to offer al the Midmar Mile swimmers and their families 20% off our accommodation offering for the Midmar Mile weekend.

Karkloof Spa-Wellness and Wildlife Retreat, located just 24 kilometers from Pietermartizburg in a Malaria free area in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, and is home to the most expansive eco-friendly spa in Africa.
Situated in 3500 hectares of picturesque game reserve, in amongst the valleys, rivers and waterfalls; from the moment you arrive, wildlife abounds in pristine, well-protected terrain. The reserve is home to disease-free buffalo, black and white rhino, hippo, and a variety of other wildlife, and with roughly 300 bird species, it is a birding enthusiast's delight.

Karkloof Spa's 5-star Boutique Lodge hosts 16 luxury Villas, which are tastefully furnished and nestled in amongst the natural surroundings. The essence of Karkloof Spa is "timelessness", which means we do not have set times for meals and activities – time is our gift to you. This allows you to be at complete leisure and you will have the liberty to do what you want, when you want to. For example, whether it is breakfast at 09h00 or 15h00, the choice is yours.

Built to embrace the natural environment, the Spa and Wellness Centre features extended Hydrotherapy Facilities, and 17 sumptuous treatment rooms, all of which have spectacular views of the surrounding reserve and gardens, where you will be pampered by one of our Internationally-qualified Thai therapists.

Blend these natural assets with the finest attention to detail, personalized service and world-class standards, and what results is an experience where every moment of your stay is secretly designed to be memorable in every way...

KARKLOOF SPA allows the nuances of nature to nurture and restore natural balance. So we are the perfect venue to charge up before your swim and recuperate after!
