About Spicers Sangoma Retreat

Perched in the Bowen Mountain bushland, this secluded lodge trades city stress for South African-inspired architecture and zero-decision dining. Timber beams, stone walls, and expansive glass frame panoramic valley views, setting a quiet backdrop for milestone escapes. Guests frequently point to the seamless freedom at Amara—the on-site hatted restaurant where multi-course tasting menus remove all need to deliberate over lunch or dinner. Days settle into an easy rhythm: sauna sessions followed by quick dips, complimentary Taittinger from the in-room minibar, and dinners that conclude over pistachio tart and Basque cheesecake.

  • Curated Chef Tasting Menus: Lunches and dinners at Amara arrive as chef-designed multi-course tasting menus, eliminating ordering choices.
  • South African Lodge Design: Suites feature lodge architecture with soaring ceilings, stone, timber, and curated South African artwork.
  • All-Inclusive Minibar: In-room refrigerators come stocked with Taittinger champagne, boutique wines, and local craft beers.

  • Market Fish

    Even as someone who typically shies away from fish, I couldn't get enough of the market fish, and the Jelly Pop cocktail was an absolute delight.

Before you head over

Helpful dining and stay considerations based on guest visits

  • Pre-arrange dietary requirements for tasting menus

    Meals at Amara are presented as multi-course chef's tasting menus without an à la carte ordering list, so notify the kitchen in advance if you have specific dietary restrictions.

  • Clarify beverage inclusions and pricing upfront

    When ordering paired wines or day packages, ask for a clear breakdown of meal inclusions and beverage pricing up front to avoid unexpected additions to your bill.

  • Pair the unheated pool with the sauna

    The main pool is unheated, making it best paired as a quick cold plunge immediately following a session in the sauna.
