Montusi Mountain Lodge
Montusi Mountain Lodge, The Drakensberg

Montusi Mountain Lodge offers genuine hospitality in the tranquillity of one of the most beautiful settings in Southern AfricaSpace, comfort and peace are what you will find when you treat yourself to the natural splendour and peaceful, romantic ambiance of this Drakensberg haven.

Accomodation

The 16 spacious, tastefully decorated, individual suites are among the most luxurious in the Drakensberg. The peace and quiet, like our homemade chocolates and bread, are quite addictable!Each free-standing suite is decorated in the earthy colours of Africa and has spectacular mountain views. All the suites have tea and coffee making facilities, including a bar fridge for fresh milk. Minibar facility in the suite is available upon request. All suites have a car port for one vehicle.

Rooms

Garden Suites

There are ten Garden Suites which each have a comfortable bedroom with en-suite bathroom (bath and walk in shower), a lounge with a TV, DVD player, gas operated fire place and private patio. Most suites have a kingsize double bed (others with two singles beds) and the Honeymoon Suites have a corner tub for two. The suites all have panoramic views of the Drakensberg’s Amphitheatre.

Mountain Suites

The Mountain Suites are our newest accommodation: completed in December 2014. The two Mountain Suites are larger and more spacious than the Garden Suites. 15 years of Montusi Experience has resulted in these beautiful modern units. Each one has a bedroom with kingsize double bed; and large bathroom with big bath and separate shower; and an airy lounge with private patio. These suites also have TVs, DVD players and gas fires. The views from the lounge, patio and bedrooms are sweeping and expansive with a backdrop against the majestic Amphitheatre mountain.

Family Suites

The four Family Suites easily accommodate 4 adults in two bedrooms. The "front" bedroom has a kingsize double bed and a bathroom with bath and toilet. The second bedroom has either two single beds or a kingsize double bed and a bathroom with a shower and toilet. These rooms open onto an entrance area and lounge. The lounges also have a TV, DVD player, gas fire place and private patio.

Self-Catering Cottages

The Self-Catering Cottages are privately owned and are let out to the public on behalf of the owners. They are not graded by the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa.

Each cottage has three bedrooms (one double and four single beds), three bathrooms (one with bath and shower, one with only a bath and one with only a shower) and an open plan living area with a fully equipped kitchen, dining table and a lounge with private patio. The kitchen is equipped with a fridge/freezer, stove, oven, microwave and dishwasher. The lounge has a TV, fireplace and there is a braai on the patio.

Recreation

Doing nothing is probably the most sort after pastime at Montusi. No pressure, no wake up calls (in fact no telephone in the room), hot water all day long. Montusi is the best place to simply wind down and relax. Just enjoy our little bit of paradise and recharge the batteries.

Swimming Pool

Our fenced swimming pool looks out at the escarpment. The surrounding rocks have provided inspiration for this unusual and beautifully crafted pool

Fly Fishing

We have two dams on the property stocked with trout (and with a beautiful view). Fishing rods can be hired and flies are for sale. This ‘Catch and Release’ activity is strictly reserved for Montusi residents

Due to the number of cottages and the possibility to drive directly to your cottage we felt like being in a holiday park and not in a lodge. This is what we did not like that much.... but that's all...
