The patio can seat ten people at the outside table and there are three loungers to relax on next to the Jacuzzi. James lives on the property and is the onsite security. He will assist with making fire and switching on the Jacuzzi if needed.

The rock pool is a few metres away and situated next to a large rock for tanning. There is an amazing view from the pool of the valley and hippo pool in the distance. There is a range of outdoor activities available; day and night game drives, bird drives, lion feeding, lion cub interaction, horse riding, hiking trails, tennis, mini golf, archery, squash, paintball, abseiling, children's playground, bush boma dinners and a golf course at Elements Golf Estate which is an estate opposite Mabalingwe.
