Montusi Mountain Lodge is the only 4-star graded lodge in the Northern KwaZulu-Natal Drakensberg mountains (near the Royal Natal Nature Reserve), which offers superb views of the Amphitheatre from every building.
Guests are accommodated in free-standing suites set apart in the indigenous gardens.
There is a main-building with dining room, lounge, bar, games loft and massage room.
Table d’hôte breakfast and dinner are enjoyed in a spacious restaurant under a rather unusual thatched roof.
Montusi’s kitchen provides delicious meals with a wide choice for all tastes. Special dietary requirements (including vegetarian,
vegan, lactose or gluten free) are readily catered for with prior notice.
The bar offers a variety of excellent, reasonably priced South African wines and lively banter with the hosts. The lounge is a quiet space where guests can really soak up the ambience of Montusi.
The log fire-place, oil paintings and large picture windows provide a perfect atmosphere for unwinding over a good book and a delicious cappuccino.
Complimentary wi-fi allows guests to catch up on emails and current events.
Through our Emmemeli Community Project we offer Relaxation Massage by local Zulu ladies in the Emmemeli Massage Room.
The lodge is located on the 1 000 hectare Montusi Canservation Estate
Activities to enjoy include Hiking; mountain bike and adventure running trails; • Horse-riding stables; Fly fishing dams; Montusi Peak, Waterfall Cave and Bushman Cave with authentic Bushman Rock Art; Private Mpophomeni Picnic Area; home to naturally occurring wildlife: a wide variety of birds, several species of antelope, small mammals and reptiles.
While the default mode for Montusi should be to relax with a good book and enjoy the fresh mountain air, sleep in late and unwind from the daily grind, for those who prefer to be more active in the mountains, there is plenty to do!
