Kubili House is all about precious downtime in the wild. Revelling in the quiet luxury of space and time, many degrees of separation from the hustle. Here, the only traffic and your only neighbours, are the animals – predator and prey alike – coming to drink at the dam, the biggest waterhole in Thornybush Game Reserve, right in front of your deck. And being Thornybush, primo territory within the Greater Kruger National Park, lion and leopard are among those free-spirited visitors.
The home’s mindful, sophisticated design is at once North and Southern African. With slightly more than a finger-tinkle of NYC Zen to bring it together. Morocco meets the Zimbabwe Ruin, via Donna Karan. Star gazing never looked so good. With eight bedrooms, more swimming pools than you could ever need, a spa & wellness center, private cinema, full equipped gym, golf simulator (really?), padel courts (really, really??), childminding, private chefs, and a wine room – you will want for literally nothing.
The owners’ passion for and commitment to Africa is palpable. From their financial support of the staff, who they believe will become their most valuable network for anti-poaching, to unexpected, exceptional, thoughtful fine-dining, and knockout game-viewing experiences. In all, life-changing sustainability in action. You will go home changed too.
