About us
Bart has spent his entire career working as a chef, with a passion for flavour, quality and enjoyment.
Elke has a diverse professional background. She worked in hotels in Switzerland, where attention to
detail, comfort and service are key. She was active as a maternity care assistant, taking care for the
newborns and there mothers and taught in secondary education. In recent years, she was affiliated
with the Federal Police in Brussels (Belgium) as a fingerprint examiner and forensic facial comparison
expert. Ultimately, she decided to follow her passion and, together with Bart, return to the hospitality
industry.
We are Belgium and lived in Antwerp.
In 2024 we travelled to South Africa for the first time and fell in love with this country – its breathtaking
landscapes and nature, relaxed way of life and especially its warm and friendly people. It felt like the
right moment for a change. That dream has now become reality here.
We found African Rock Lodge and immediately fell in love with it. You will understand why, when you
have been there.
Our lodge is designed for guests who truly want to unwind. We have decided to host adults-only lodge,
welcoming guests from 18 years and older. Thus, ensuring peace, privacy and comfort.
Please note that we are currently in a transitional period. Bookings made by the previous owners are
still honoured and may include families with children. From January 1st 2027 onwards, the lodge will be
fully adults-only.
