The area has a bar, dining table and several comfortable couches from which to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The deck extends out over the rivers banks with a fire pit for pre-dinner drinks or breakfast with sunrise. Underneath the deck is access to the hide which is perfect for photography when animals come down to the waterhole.

Activities include morning and afternoon game drives and guided walking safaris are also possible.
