Marvellous Montusi
Montusi Mountain Lodge is in a beautiful area of the Drakensburg with a wonderful view of the amphitheatre. The individual cottages are a very good size and are very clean. The food is excellent and the service friendly and charming. It was our second visit and we are planning a third. It is tranquil and a great area for hiking.

An excellent base for exploring the Drakensburg and even if you don’t want to go too far the guided local walks each morning are very enjoyable. The whole environment is very relaxing and the views from the Lodge are magnificent.
