    If you want to rent the guest house and the loft to different people who don’t know each other, you need to put a door on the guest house, so the guest house has privacy, as the people that rented the loft had to keep apologetic every single time they walked through, it’s not very fair on the people who rent the guest house, it also gives people the option to leave the door open or closed, both parties felt very awkward.

    About the host

    Hosted by Pete

    Host profile image
    Starting a new adventure as a couple in our 60's, with a passion for nature and being around people, we decided to embark on a journey and create a home away from home and took over Tanwarra Lodge.

    We start our new chapter by continuing to provide beautiful, country style accommodation, as well as quality pizza's and fresh coffee through Sofala Pizza and Cafe. We also aspire to one day create a piece of paradise, offering yoga retreats for group bookings and a stunning location for all functions in the near future.

    We strive to give every person who stays at Tanwarra, a beautiful experience, wanting to come back again and again. We hope you love Tanwarra Lodge just as much as what we do.

    See you soon!
