Metsi Lodge offers a wonderful atmosphere of relaxation and comfort and staying here, one does truly "feel at home in the bush." With the lodge folding doors opening onto an expansive deck overlooking our pond, one is always on nature's doorstep. The entire lodge is unobtrusively fenced to encourage the ever present wildlife to remain at a comfortable distance.
