Accommodation

Lodge accommodation and tourism:

We at Flintbeck really try to make our guests part of our family living in South Africa. This enables our guests to not only see the country, but to experience our way of living.

In 2014 the Schlotfeldt family had to decide whether the old rondawels would be destroyed or rebuilt. It was decided to convert the rondawels into a lodge, especially after a discussion with Paw Print Safaris that ensured their support. Thanks to them the lodge would be a viable investment, and within a few months it was rebuilt and extended to what it is today.

Flintbeck believes in people and partnerships. Great opportunities can be conquered with the right partners. Flintbeck believes in trust, without trust partnerships cannot survive. The lodge has now been operating since February 2015; thanks to our partners it has a bright future.

Heide and Thomas run the day to day operations regarding the lodge, with the help of Louise Kroese that assists from an administration point of view.

There is something unique about the rondawels, they have African soul. They have accommodated many generations since the 1900’s. They are not part of Flintbeck, they are Flintbeck
