The spoonbills have company.

Down at the water there's a darter keeping watch from a stump, a heron stalking the long grass, and a bird hide where you can sit as long as you like without anyone asking why. Fishing is allowed on the estate, so pack a rod.

Plenty of birdlife, and not one alarm clock.

Two spoonbills, one dead tree, and all the time in the world.

One preening, one keeping an eye on the dam, both completely at home. Coffee in hand, you'll catch yourself doing much the same: sitting still, looking closer, forgetting the time.

What's the best bird you've ever spotted on a trip?

Yesterday you saw the main bedroom. Here's the rest of the house.

A long table for slow dinners. A lounge facing the bush. A proper kitchen, because it's self-catering and nobody's rushing you. A second bedroom with two single beds, and a bathroom for each bedroom, so nobody queues in the morning.

Sleeps 4, and it's only ever yours.

Bags down. Shoes off. The city can wait outside.

Inside: proper beds, a lounge that looks straight out at the bush, and more space than you'll ever need, all to yourselves. Self-catering, so dinner happens when you're hungry, not when a kitchen closes.

Next Tuesday: the first sundowner. Want to see it for yourself? WhatsApp Mariska.

The hot tub has two new owners, and they're not giving it back.

A wood-fired tub under open sky, at a private bush lodge near Bela-Bela, two and a half hours from the city. Sleeps 4, and the whole place is yours.

Hoor jy dit? Dis niks. En dis heerlik.

Op die stoep, koffie in die hand, besef jy skielik jy het vir 'n uur nie aan jou foon geraak nie. 'n Private bosveldlodge naby Bela-Bela, net julle, en die bosveld wat stil word om julle.

Daar's nog 'n paar oop datums in Oktober. WhatsApp vir Mariska, sê hoeveel gaste julle is.

Yesterday's nyala brought friends.

Some mornings the neighbours come to you: nyala strolling past the boma, a wildebeest at the trough, a kudu bull pretending you can't see him. The estate is around 2,000 hectares, and some days they still choose the patch next to the house.

Keep the coffee close. The patio is the best seat.

WhatsApp Mariska with your guest count.

He didn't even look up.

A nyala bull, head down in the dappled shade, spiral horns catching the light, orange socks and all. Close enough to count his stripes, and he couldn't have cared less.

That kind of calm rubs off on you out here.

Tag who you'd bring to see this in person.
