The Nonna Deli allows guests the opportunity to create their own indulgent picnic basket which they can enjoy in their own secluded spot in the gardens.

Activities, Sports & Leisure

Art

The Lodge has been decorated with original artwork – each piece either chosen or commissioned by the owners. Most of the pieces of sculpture and the paintings are by Southern African artists but there is also art from as far a field as Nepal, Burma, Vietnam, India and the United States.

There are pieces from Italy on show in the garden including a carved two-metre high carrara marble copy of Michelangelo’s “David”. One of the most interesting features on view in the gardens is the large collection of Shona stone carvings. Most of the artists are world famous and a significant portion of the Shona collection is from first generation artists.
