The current owners have only run the lodge on a part-time basis for conferences and training, as well as 4 long-term rentals behind the lodge. The Long-term rental income brings in between     R30 000 to R35 000 per month, which ensures a fixed income for overhead expenses. The lodge has enormous potential for the buyer that wants to utilise the existing facilities to its full potential. Small conferences is ideal for an extra income. The income for a 5 day / 24-hour conference package (for 22 delegates) is approximately R150 000-00.
