<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nWhile managed by Legacy and built by an associated company, the hotel’s suites will be individually owned by investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The “deconstructed” hotel model positions suites horizontally rather than in the standard multi-level hotel layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suites will be either simplex (single-level) or duplex (double-storey), with minor differences evident in each unit, including room configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each suite comprises two keys, which offer a luxury suite and an additional functional en-suite space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The grand bedroom features a king bed that can be closed off from the bathroom, which includes a freestanding bath overlooking a private garden and an outdoor shower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite the luxury interiors, Legacy noted that the true essence of the bush experience lies in the time spent outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Duplex Suites thus feature 60 sqm terraces, which offer shaded views of the Sabie River bank and the wildlife corridor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each terrace is designed to offer maximum comfort, featuring a gas braai, beverage cooler, dining facilities, a lounge space with a gas firepit and an open section with sun loungers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notably, each suite will include a butler, whose services include driving, liaising with customer service, and even packing and unpacking one’s bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the simplexes do not have views of the Sabie River, on our walk around the development, we saw a buffalo less than 50m from one of the suites under construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zebras were also found walking around the premises. Across the Sabie River, one can also see hippos and elephants, the latter of which the estate is named after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following heavy rains and widespread flooding in the Kruger, construction was delayed. However, the first phase of the development should open on 1 May 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The overall development, including phases 1 and 2, will cost roughly R700 million. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the latest rankings by New World Wealth<\/a>, Elephant Point features in the top 10 wildlife estates in South Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
