The Belgrace: A gay-welcoming romantic oasis in Mpumalanga
Special occasions need to be just that: special. And when it involves your relationship, no one has time for awkwardness or being made to feel out of place. That’s exactly what you won’t get at the five star Belgrace Boutique Hotel in Mpumalanga.
My husband and I were treated to a night at this decadent oasis as part of our anniversary road trip to the Kruger and could not have felt more pampered, welcomed and celebrated.
Walking to our suite, we realised how special The Belgrace is. Nestled in lush, sheltered gardens, you feel as if you’re in another distant world, far from the madness of busy highways, bustling malls and frantic crowds.
The dining room and bar are located around a huge fairy lit fig tree and courtyard. The decor throughout the hotel is decadent, plush and romantic.
Our opulent suite (one of eight) was sumptuous, complete with a Jacuzzi, massive bathroom (with a shower for four) and a plush bed. A highlight was the private deck with a splash pool and a view into the valley; a macadamia nut farm.
The staff were always engaging and efficient. We were treated with smiles and immaculate service (including being asked at just the right times if we wanted photos taken with our cellphones while at dinner or having drinks on the deck). They acknowledged our relationship and anniversary with warmth and attentiveness.
Dinner at the hotel’s award winning Rock Fig was top-notch: delicious and beautifully presented food in an intimate setting. (This fine dining restaurant was recently named one of the Top 100 restaurants to explore in South Africa).
We returned to our suite to find the Jacuzzi and the turned-down bed surrounded with rose petals. It was just one night – but we left invigorated, relaxed and feeling very special.
The Belgrace is a haven from the pressures of the world – one you and your partner won’t forget. It’s perfect for celebrating engagements, wedding nights, honeymoons, anniversaries and other special occasions, such as Valentine’s Day or grand birthdays.
Situated just five minutes from the Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, the Belgrace offers free luxury transfers from the airport (maximum of 6 guests per trip). It’s a luxurious base from which to explore the attractions of the area, such as the Panorama Route; the Kruger National Park; adventure activities and private game reserves.
