The first time I stayed at The Motse, I felt like the land exhaled—and I exhaled with it. It’s luxury, yes—but stripped back to what really matters: silence, space, and soul. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple, or a family, The Motse feels like home in the most unforgettable way.
Tucked beneath the Korannaberg mountains, each suite feels completely private, yet deeply connected to the wild. I’d wake to oryx outside my deck and fall asleep to a sky full of stars.

In James' Words:
"The Motse is where it all began for me at Tswalu—and it’s the kind of place that gently reorders your sense of time. It’s not flashy or overdone. It’s warm, grounded, and quietly luxurious in a way that invites you to breathe deeper, slow down, and just be".
