STAY
A NIGHT
AMONG THE
LILIES
BY BYRON LUKAS
If you’ ve been rocking with Inbound, you’ ll know I shared a little Garden Route adventure in our September issue. Well, I’ m back. This time, I’ m taking you along for a night in beautiful Nature’ s Valley. So, buckle up, here’ s Part Two.
There is something about being surrounded by nature that immediately changes your pace. You breathe differently. You listen differently. You start noticing things you would normally drive straight past because, well, you are usually concentrating on getting somewhere.
That was exactly the feeling at Lily Pond Country
Lodge, with its 10 spacious, individually decorated ensuite bedrooms, tucked away between Plettenberg Bay and Nature’ s Valley along one of the Garden Route’ s most beautiful stretches.
After a few days on the road, arriving here felt less like checking into a hotel and more like someone had quietly pressed pause on life.
