Lowveld - Dec 2020 / Jan 2021

Old
world grandeur
Set in the heart of the bustling town of Hazyview, the Numbi Hotel and Garden
Suites is an oasis of sorts. Pools of water, alive with glistening multicoloured koi
fish and sheltered under the sublime coolness of mighty fig trees, it is a haven
away from home. Mellissa Bushby tells us more.
stablished
in 1963,
Numbi is
arguably the
oldest familyowned
and -run
establishment
in the Lowveld.
Started by Willem
Fick and now
in its third generation, the family’s
passion for hospitality and quality
service is evident in their commitment
to the comfort of their guests. From
the spacious executive suites to the
comfortable en suite hotel rooms, this
grand old dame offers home-grown

As a child, I used to stay here with my
parents, always en route to the game
reserve. I have memories of enormous
trees, overgrown jungles teeming
with birdlife, large, leaves and fragrant
flowers, incredibly beautiful gardens
and balmy evenings spent under the
African sky.
Entering the grounds, we discovered
that not much has changed. The
gardens offer an abundance of trees
and birdlife, a welcome respite from
the busy street just outside, muting
the sounds of traffic rushing past
