This lovely lodge is in a stunning setting looking across to surrounding hills and valleys. There is a gorgeous swimming pool in the well kept gardens, providing the ideal place to relax after exploring the area. On warm sunny mornings, breakfast is served on the patio and in the cool evenings enjoy pre-dinner drinks round a log fire in the house. There are nine en-suite comfortable bedrooms.
Enjoy the space and beauty of the Babanango Private Nature Reserve where there are 30km of self-guided trails, as well as the birds and flowers you may come across zebra and impala along the way. Guided walks are also available. You can take a picnic from the lodge and self drive to the many attractions in the surrounding area.
The famous battlefields are the main interest in the area and sites which can be visited (ideally with a local guide) include early Zulu history and the rise of the Zulu Nation; the Zulu-Boer Conflicts, focussed mainly around 1838; the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879 and the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902.
You can also stay overnight in the valley at the lodge’s Rock Pools Bush Camp, a private luxury tented camp on a personal stretch of a rocky river in the bush.
