ACRA-RETREAT MOUNTAIN VIEW LODGE
Bed & Breakfast/ Guest House/ Guest Lodge Accommodation
in Waterval Boven, Escarpment,
Mpumalanga, South Africa
Spectacular View - Peace and tranquility
Acra-Retreat - Mountain View Lodge - is built on a mountain - on the edge of a
cliff - with breathtaking views of the mountains and the Elands Valley Nature
Reserve . Pure peace and tranquility.
Be at one with nature, and yet only 1 km away from the small and charming
railway village with the name: "Waterval Boven". Besides it's touching history
and it's friendly residents, Waterval Boven has a good infra-structure with a
hospital, bank, service station and shops. The translation of Waterval Boven is:
"above the waterfall". A visit to the spectacular waterfall is a must !
Enjoy our secret garden. Nestled in the mountains, on the slope of the
hill, our terraced garden is the perfect secluded retreat. Park benches in
secret corners invite you to linger, to relax, and to shrug off stress.
Enjoy a romantic, sunrise- breakfast for two ? We make dreams come true.
Accommodation : Five luxurious rooms. No matter which room you choose,
all our suites have been decorated in African style with a lot of attention to
detail. The rooms are luxurious and comfortable, with high quality, large, to
extra large, box beds. Each room has a door onto the wooden deck, where you can
enjoy the magnificent view whilst sipping cocktails ... or join us in our
fully-licensed bar.
Do you have special wishes? Please let us know. Even when you are far from home,

There is also a lot to see and do. Would you like to take a trip to the
Kruger Park, God's Window or the Blyde River Canyon ? You are at the right
