If the best trip is the one we have not done yet, then Limpopo; with its breathtaking landscape and world-class leisure facility offerings, is a deal this summer for holiday makers who seek to explore the best offerings in the rainbow country for the first time.
But for those who have experienced Limpopo, you need a repeat visit to explore further and heighten your experience with new offerings.
One of such offerings to explore in Limpopo, the South African province bordering Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique, is the Euphoria Golf & Lifestyle Estate.
Set in the beautiful Waterberg mountain range in Modimolle, Mookgophong, only two hours from Johannesburg and one and a half hours from Pretoria, the estate is truly an adventure that awaits visitors, no matter the excitement.
From the entrance, it is all beautiful scenery amid spotting some wildlife games, especially springbok in the surrounding bushveld, some challenging golf holes, helipad and villas until you get to the reception.
The intrigue is that there are many homeowners, but both residents and guests live in harmony, enjoying the best man and nature can afford across the Waterberg mountain range.
However, the estate offers a true test of golf in one of the most beautiful African bushveld settings with the 18-hole championship golf course that hosts professional, celebrity golfers and even guests practicing the high profile game for the first time.
From any part of the estate, there is a golf hole, yet there is a serious commitment to preserve indigenous fauna and flora in the golf course, which is the first in Africa to be designed by Annika Sorenstam.
For the discerning guest, the combination of golf and the unsurpassed beauty of the Waterberg landscape make Euphoria such a unique golfing experience.
Aside hosting the 18-hole championship golf course, the tranquil setting belies luxurious accommodation options including; Bush Villas nestled in the bushveld close to the magnificent clubhouse, hydro spa and golf course. The 64-room villas (all en-suite with balconies) follow the theme of contemporary African chic and are designed for sheer comfort and relaxation.
It is commonplace to spot wildlife game in the surrounding bushveld from the balcony.
But the hydro spa represents the lifestyle offering at the estate. It features the villa spa, a first of its kind destination spa concept, which sets in a beautiful serenity surrounded by nature and its resources. The spa features four luxury private villas fitted with state-of-the-art equipment amid treatments such as; Indian head massage, hot stone massages, pedicures, manicures and facials.
Moreover, guests delight in birdsong heard while floating in the floatation pools or simply relaxing in the Jacuzzi. They can also spot some wildlife game species, which frequent the spa villas.
On a visit to the estate, the spa is the first offering recommended to guests to enable them relax and recover from the stress of long journey to the estate.
Expectedly, dining is an experience at Euphoria Golf and Spa Estate. The discerning guest can be spoilt in Hapo Zamani’s fine dining restaurant with culinary delights, while the A’luta Bar hosts all guests to fine wine menu unwinding, after function drink, golf activities or evening drinks while soaking in magnificent views of the golf course and surroundings.
As well, a visit to Euphoria without experiencing the cable car is not complete. The cableway offers bird’s eye view of the estate, and links the reception area to the Ntshonalanga Restaurant on top of the mountain. While in the restaurant atop the mountain, guests cannot help but relax and enjoy casual atmosphere with bar and light menu. Pictures taken from the cable car tell the stories better and capture the experience more.
Family fun awaits you as well at an exclusive mini water park at the estate featuring two supertubes that entertain all age groups. For adults, there is an over 18’s area that boasts a stunning sunken pool bar that offers delectable cocktails while taking a break from the Limpopo sun, as well as, a boma area to celebrate the success of the day’s golf while enjoying a roaring fire.
If the above are not adventurous enough, guests can go hiking, engage in mountain bike trails, birding among other outdoor activities including trailing the wildlife game such as springbok.
With all these offerings going for the residential estate, Euphoria is the escape worth your visit this summer!
