Rooms

The country house offers rooms and larger houses for families or groups. The four-bedroom and five-bedroom houses come with a private bathroom, patio, kitchen, and outdoor dining area. Rooms have mountain or river views, a tea and coffee maker, and free toiletries. Some houses have fireplaces and electric blankets for winter.

Leisure

The reserve has hiking and biking trails, plus canoeing on the river. Fishing is catch-and-release in at least three dams, with the first dam at the bottom of the garden. There are picnic areas, a sun terrace, and an outdoor fireplace. Evening entertainment and themed dinners are sometimes organized.

Location

Tillietudlem Nature Reserve is in Impendle, 71 km from Pietermaritzburg Airport. The last few kilometers to the property are on a dirt road, so a car with high clearance (like a bakkie or SUV) is recommended. The closest town is Dargle, which is about 20 minutes away by car.

Services

The 24-hour front desk offers private check-in/check-out, luggage storage, and a concierge. Daily housekeeping, laundry, and ironing services are available. Meeting and banquet facilities can be arranged. The hosts, Danny and Shelbi, are known for going out of their way to make guests comfortable.

“The natural surroundings here are truly captivating, offering peaceful vistas that invite contemplation and opportunities for invigorating hikes. You'll find the staff, particularly Danny, exceptionally welcoming, ensuring a stay marked by genuine hospitality and memorable moments around the fireplace. It's a place that feels both expansive and intimate, fostering a deep sense of calm.”
