Spent two nights in very unusual "Beehive Huts". Stunning views and surrounding area. All meals were included , in the price, and every evening you are seated at a different table in a different part of the lodge. It was chilly in the evenings and fires were lit and and lovely atmosphere was created. Hot water bottles placed in your... More

Good location for the Zulu battlefields. Very friendly staff. Zulu dancers excellent. Food very good, although we found the Zulu food rather heavy for us. I do not think that I should be pushed to write more than I want to. I was told that before I wrote this last sentence that I was 46 characters short - ridiculous!

After 28 hours travelling from the winter in Oslo it was fantastic to be welcomed with a nice dinner late in the evening by charming Christine and the friendly staff at this fantastic place. In the daylight next morning we were amazed by the stunning view. After a big breakfast we visited a Zulu home and were charmed by all... More

Our rondavel was perfect - fantastic views, clean, authentically furnished with a super en suite bathroom. The food was tasty and we very much enjoyed the Zulu evening where we were not only able to eat local cuisine, but also watch marvelous dancing... More
