Silicon Valley travelers find a peaceful retreat where they can enjoy gourmet dining at The Red Sage restaurant or spend afternoons lounging by the pool
The Elegant Lodge in Menlo Park provides a quiet sanctuary from tech industry bustle. Guests relax in the lush garden setting, unwind with drinks at the welcoming bar, or cool off in the outdoor pool. The Red Sage restaurant serves local specialties for all three daily meals.
Menlo Park, a neighbourhood in Pretoria, is home to The Elegant Lodge. Atterbury Theatre and Ditsong National Museum of Natural History are cultural highlights, and some of the area's activities can be experienced at Pretoria Country Club and 19th Hole Putt-Putt.
