Experience refined elegance and gracious living from a bygone era at Long Lee Manor. Originally built in 1910, Long Lee Manor on the Shamwari Game Reserve offers a distinctive Colonial experience. Long Lee Manor at Shamwari is a splendidly restored Edwardian Manor House offering guests refined comfort, congenial service and enticing cuisine in the African bush. Long Lee Manor accommodates 38 guests in 19 elegant en-suite rooms, all with air-conditioning and heating, as well as family suites for the children.
Even though one does not get the usual distinctive bush feel from the restored Edwardian House, it does have a luxurious hotel atmosphere with lovely views and large rolling lawns. Long Lee Manor is well suited to families. The Sidbury Wing is hidden from the manor house. The French doors open onto the rolling river meadows. Each spring the palm trees in Palm Court are alive with weaver birds nesting. Sumptuously prepared meals may be enjoyed either in the main dining room or around the open blazing fire at the Barn. A river lapa is also an option for alfresco meals.
Between game drives guests can laze around the two swimming pools, relax in the beautifully appointed garden lounge, or enjoy a rejuvenating treatment in the spa. Long Lee Manor is a reminder of an era of gracious living - positioned as the flagship of Shamwari - it overlooks the sweeping plains leading down to the Bushmans River. Accommodation at Long Lee Manor is in 19 elegant and comfortably furnished en-suite bedrooms. All rooms are air conditioned and have under-floor heating.
There are also special family suites which are well suited to guests traveling with children.
Additional facilities at the lodge include dining facilities as well as two swimming pools and a health and beauty spa. An extensive range of African curios and branded clothing is sold at the curio shop at Long Lee Manor.
Shamwari is one of the premier Malaria-free safari destinations in the Eastern Cape. Guests at Long Lee Manor have access to the wide range of safari activities on offer.
