Our Story

Hanlin Lodge began as a dream—a place where family, nature, and simplicity could meet. Nestled in the heart of the Springbok Flats of the Waterberg Bushveld region, our farm is more than a business; it’s our home. We built each chalet with care, cleared each trail with love, and welcomed our first guests with the same warmth we offer our friends and family.

The Farm Lifestyle Experience

Whether you’re hiking, biking, birdwatching, or stargazing, every moment is an invitation to reconnect—with nature, with loved ones, and with yourself.

Life here follows the rhythm of the land. Mornings begin with the cluck of free-range chickens and the scent of dew on the veld. Guests are invited to gather fresh eggs, wander barefoot along sandy paths, or simply sit quietly as the bush comes alive around them.

Our Values

Community: We treat guests like family. Your stories become part of ours.

Authenticity: What you see is what you get—real people, real farm life, real connection.

Simplicity: No frills, no fuss. Just clean air, warm hospitality, and honest living.

A place to revive your soul

What Makes Hanlin Different

Unlike typical lodges, Hanlin offers a living experience. You’re not just staying near nature—you’re part of it. From the kudu grazing near your deck to the barefoot joy of collecting eggs, every detail is designed to immerse you in the farm’s heartbeat.
