OUR STORY

Rooted in Love. Guided by Light.

At the heart of the quiet, rolling hills of D360 Baynesfield, there’s a special place built not just from bricks and wood—but from memory, legacy, and love. That place is Toshi’s Lodge, a self-catering retreat that welcomes you like family and offers the kind of peace that only nature and genuine hospitality can provide.

Toshi’s Lodge is the vision of Londiwe Khanyile and her brother Thobani Nxele, two hardworking young Black siblings who turned their shared dream into reality. Raised with values of love, strength, and generosity, they created the lodge in honor of their late mother, Toshi Mzila—a woman who was a guiding light not only to her children, but to everyone around her.

Toshi was known for her warm heart, her nurturing spirit, and the way she made everyone feel seen, heard, and at home. Naming the lodge after her was not only a tribute—it was a promise to carry her light forward and create a space where others could experience the same love and serenity she gave so freely.

Toshi’s Lodge is more than just a getaway—it’s a place where memories are made, where stillness is sacred, and where guests arrive as visitors but leave as family.

Surrounded by natural beauty, fresh, clean air, and the calming hum of countryside life, the lodge is the perfect place to reconnect with nature, unwind from the pressures of city living, and simply breathe. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee with scenic views, preparing a meal in the comfort of your own kitchen, or having a heartfelt celebration with loved ones—Toshi’s Lodge offers the space, privacy, and warmth to make it truly your own.

For Every Kind of Guest

Whether you're here for a romantic weekend, a family picnic, a peaceful solo retreat, or a joyful celebration like a baby shower or birthday, our lodge adapts to your needs. We offer a flexible and self-catered experience in an environment that respects your rhythm, while still providing hospitality that feels deeply personal.

From our event-friendly grounds to our thoughtfully maintained rooms, every detail has been crafted to reflect the love and care that inspired this place from the very beginning.

Our Promise

At Toshi’s Lodge, we are committed to offering more than a stay—we offer a feeling.
A feeling of peace. A sense of belonging.
A connection to something real, rooted, and full of heart.
