The property has 24-hour security, CCTV, and fire extinguishers. Packed lunches and wine/champagne are available.
“The lodge presents spacious, comfortable rooms, a particularly welcome aspect after a day spent exploring the stunning surrounding landscapes. The warmth of the staff, especially Limal, and the engaging presence of resident animals like Chocolate and Caramel add a distinctive charm that feels truly welcoming. It's a place where the tranquility of the Drakensberg mountains meets genuine hospitality.”
