Accommodation at the Thora Boloka Cottage at Kurisa Moya nature lodge

Thora Boloka is crafted with stone from the farm and painted in the colour of the earth it stands on.
Lintls are hewn from cedar trees knocked down in the 2000 floods and doorframes are twisted
gumtree branches as they are in nature.

The double volume living area is light and airy in summer but cosy with the central fireplace on winter days.

The open-plan living area is spacious and sociable and the kitchen is well fitted-out for feasts created
by family and friends.

Thora Boloka sleeps six in a double bed and four singles. The decor is African and organic with stone
and wood mixing harmoniously with ochre and terracotta walls, lizard lights and African baskets.

There is a glorious outdoor shower with views into the valley or a really organic indoor shower with
wooden latte doors and handmade washbasins.

Thora Boloka is embraced by a koppie where Black Eagles soar and klipspringer and baboons are
often seen. The bushveld habitat is very different to the forest setting of the cabins and means
lovely warm days and mild nights all through the year.

Windows everywhere pull the views indoors and the effect is one of nature all around you. The
rustic iron and wattle light fittings shade the solar lighting. Paraffin lanterns on the patio provide a
warm atmosphere as you gaze up at the star-lit skies.

Stone benches in the lounge, on the patio and around the braai have been built using local rock,
collected on the farm. The decor is African, rustic and comfortable, emphasising the mood of
relaxation and peace, with all the comforts of home. All linen and towels are provided as well as
firewood for the fireplace and braai. Thora Boloka is electricity-free and has a gas fridge with a
freezer and a 3-plate cooker and oven.

The following is provided in the COTTAGE: linen, towels, soap and hand cream, crockery and cutlery, all kitchen utensils, tea, creamer, coffee, bodum coffee and a bodum plunger, dish-washing liquid, dish cloths and dish towels, firewood and firelighters, matches, torches, Peaceful Sleep and Bayticol spray

TRAILS

Various marked trails of graded difficulty and length lead you through a wide range
of habitats on the farm.

SWIMMING

A most refreshing dip in the Dabchick dam will be a good start to the day or a cool reward after
a hike through the forest or over the mountain. It will be a 15 minute walk from the Cottage
to get to the dam.

BIRDING

The farm’s varied habitats are home to about 220 species of birds, including the Narina Trogan, the Black-fronted Bush Shrike, the Green Twinspot and the Buff-spotted Flufftail. The Woodbush area is one of the top birding sites as mentioned in Hugh Chittendin’s book, Top Birding Spots in Southern Africa. Co-owner, Ben de Boer is an avid birder and top Birdlife SA guide, David Letsoalo is resident on Kurisa Moya. Guided walks or outings in the area can be organized.

FISHING

Our dam is stocked with trout and Haenertsburg is a nationally renowned trout fishing area and access can be organized to various dam and river venues where both rainbow and brown trout may be caught.
