Grays Eden Cottages
About Grays Eden Cottages
Grays Eden is a luxurious boutique sanctuary situated on the banks of the Thamalakane River in Maun, Botswana. Designed as a serene gateway to the Okavango Delta, this elegant retreat offers a perfect pause for travelers to acclimatize before or after their wilderness adventures. The property features 12 individually decorated units, including five spacious thatched villas and seven fisherman’s cottages, all nestled within lush, peaceful gardens that provide a tranquil escape from the bustle of town. Guests can unwind by the spectacular cliff-edge swimming pool, indulge in rejuvenating spa treatments, or enjoy fine dining and curated wines in the intimate Cliff Wine Cellar. With its sophisticated architecture, impeccable service, and a relaxed, flexible schedule, Grays Eden provides a seamless and restorative transition into the heart of Botswana’s safari circuit.
Why we like it
It serves as a sophisticated, tranquil boutique sanctuary that perfectly bridges the gap between international travel and the rugged, remote safari experience of the Okavango Delta.
