If food be the music of love

This picture captures the absolute passion ...

We’ve always loved our food here at Ekhaya Bush Villa, and coming up with fresh dishes and stunning presentations is very much part of our DNA! We may be a relatively small, boutique bush villa but we’re not afraid to go large when it comes to serving up a storm at breakfast, lunch and dinner.


So when renowned local food photographer Brent Abrahamse came to take pictures of our scrumptious menu items, we jumped at the opportunity to “wow” everyone…


Our chefs pulled out all of the stops, aided and abetted by our manager, Clare Wilkie-Girardin, and created a range of amazing dishes that Brent photographed. We cooked up a storm – from delicious home-made tomato soup, crisp, fresh salads and fruit platters to mouth-watering curry, oriental stir-fry, grilled steak and to-die-for desserts. And Brent snapped away, capturing our labour of culinary love with his camera so that we can share these wonderful images with our guests.


“The pictures are incredible,” says Clare. “And they capture the absolute passion our team has for cooking with fresh, local ingredients, creating fabulous meals for our guests to enjoy,” she adds. “If these images don’t make you hungry, nothing will,” she laughs!


So you have no worry about going hungry at Ekhaya – at the very least you’ll be more concerned with plumping up during your stay! But never fear – there’s always a good, long walk or two on the gorgeous Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate to help work up an appetite and stay trim…


We honestly can’t wait to welcome you once more and feed you some good, old-fashioned soul food.
