Every stay from September 2027 comes with this box. We post it to you, or straight to the person receiving the gift.
For delivery before Christmas, order by 8 December for addresses outside South Africa or by 15 December in South Africa. After that, up to 24 December, we email a digital certificate and the box follows.
A Founding Guest stay is two, three or five nights for two in a pool suite. You buy it now and use it any time in the three years after Emberline opens.



From a massage to a helicopter transfer, your host takes care of the details.

Every Founding Guest's name is set on a plate on the founders' wall. When a stay is a gift, the plate carries the name of the person who receives it, and it will be there on every visit.
I started Emberline because I wanted to drink my morning coffee with a giraffe outside the window. I'd love for you to come and do the same.
One pool suite for two guests, with breakfast, for the nights you choose. Your stay comes with the Emberline box, a welcome drink on arrival, the airport transfer from Cape Town International, a name on the founders' wall and lifetime Founding Guest status.
You choose them later, once booking for dates opens. We will write to you then.
Three years from the day Emberline opens.

It will if you order by 8 December for delivery outside South Africa, or by 15 December in South Africa. If you order after that, up to 24 December, we email you a digital certificate and the box follows.

Stays are not refundable. If Emberline has not welcomed its first guests by 30 June 2028, you receive a full refund.
