One of the exceptional properties in the Singita Private Villa Collection, Singita Castleton is an exclusive use lodge set within 18200 hectares of a magnificent private reserve. This charming lodge is imagined around the original African farmhouse, which belonged to the owner, Luke Baile's grandfather. Steeped in nostalgia and the ambience of an authentic African safari lodge, Singita Castleton rests amidst expansive, game-rich grasslands and the untouched African wilderness of the breathtaking Sabi Sands Game Reserve. Guests can expect a uniquely-tailored and personalised experience. Don't miss the chance to relax on the covered verandas overlooking beautiful lawns, an expansive swimming pool and a flourishing waterhole frequented by a cornucopia of game.

The Rooms

The heart of this lodge is the original stone-walled homestead, ideal for exclusive-use special occasions, family reunions and small-group gatherings. A network of pathways leads out to 6 ensuite safari villas imbued with African colonial style and can accommodate up to 12 guests. The interiors are refined, relaxed, understated and boast the rustic charm of a farmhouse. The design truly immerses guests in the history and spirit of the original camp. Many antiques adorn the interiors, and furnishings have been refashioned, adding authenticity to the experience while providing guests with all the high-end modern amenities of a luxurious stay.
