The town has a rich history closely linked with two legendary characters of South Africa’s diamond industry. John O’Reiley, who purchased the first diamond found in South Africa from its owner, Schalk van Niekerk, took it to Colesberg for testing. It was used to scratch “DP”, the initials of Draper and Plewman, a store which still exists, on the shop’s window. Once the stone had passed this test, it was sent to Dr Guybourne Atherstone, a well-known geologist. He confirmed it was a diamond and so started The Diamond Rush.

Some cottages have their own private barbeque (braai) and others use the communal braai at the swimming pool.
During the hot summer days, we cool down in the swimming pool or wait for the sun to make way for the unsurpassable Karoo night sky, to the whisper of the windmill turning in the lazy evening breeze.
Wi-Fi internet is available around the main building. There are also two bicycles available for hire, a laundry service as well as safe and secure semi shaded parking.
Events
Our Greenhouse was originally built to realise a dream that both owners harboured for many years. The dream was to have a greenhouse where we can cultivate herbs and other crops, but also use as a multli-functional space.
Today it is often used as a venue, and events include birthday parties, long-table dinners, intimate weddings and launches. We have a fully functional kitchen for catering and everything needed to host an event for up to 56 people, with informal seating on the lawns. A parking area close to the greenhouse can accommodate up to 40 cars. We can also erect a marquee immediately adjacent to the greenhouse for larger events.
We also offer an event planning service and can assist with arranging decor, catering, flowers, music and other logistics for your perfect event.

Kubu Lodge
There is a place on the banks of the Chobe River, our Kubu Lodge which is situated in the warm heart of Northern Botswana, where tranquillity and beauty mix with raw wilderness. Here the immaculate Chobe bushbuck shares its sanctuary with warthog, mongoose, and abundant birdlife, whilst the hippo and crocodile hold domain over the riverine paradise.
Easy access to the wild bounty of Chobe National Park allows our guests at Kubu Lodge to revel in the joy of mud-slinging elephants, share in the thrill of stalking lions, and marvel at the vibrant abundance of birdlife.
Our Accommodation
Our small privately owned and managed safari lodge has no radios, no television, no five-star prices, however, offers "just" five-star hospitality amidst the splendour of a wild river with its spreading trees and birdsong for company.
Eleven thatched, wooden chalets are elevated on their own private deck. Spaced out beneath the giant flamboyant and wild fig trees, each chalet enjoys a tranquil setting. Strategically placed among the rolling lawns are comfortable day beds where you can relax to the rythm and views of the Chobe River.
The decks of Morubisi (Owl) Bar and Leathaba (Sunrise) Restaurant overlook the river and lodge grounds, marrying gourmet cuisine with spectacular views. A swimming pool, reading/games lounge and a nature trail provide relaxation for the more active, whilst a small curio shop offers a chance to find that perfect gift.
Go on game drives and boat cruises into Chobe National Park; visit a crocodile farm or wildlife centre and on a day trip Victoria Falls.
Whether you want the freedom of Bed & Breakfast, or the luxury of "fully inclusive" with game drives and boat cruises included, our lodge has the flexibility to suit every need. Established in 1986, Kubu Lodge is proud to be the longest owner-run, owner-managed accommodation establishment in the Chobe region - a testament to the deep passion and dedication the owners have for the area.
