If anyone is visiting the battlefield sites of Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift, this has to be the ultimate location for their stay.

The food was superb and the hosts, along with the wonderful staff, couldn't do enough to make the stay a great experience.
Stayed for two nights in November. Such an unusual and interesting hotel with amazing views of the battlefields. Cosy and comfortable with delicious food. A friendly staff and good service. We lived it.
Just spent 3 days at this lovely oasis overlooking the battlefield. Set high above, it affords wonderful views & we were very impressed with the hotel & the rooms with private balcony were delightful. Shane, Ros & all their staff looked after us so well & nothing was too much trouble. The lodge is spotlessly clean & superb views from everywhere in the hotel on on the wraparound terrace. We were a little disappointed with the food as felt that there was very limited choices at dinner & poor selection of fruit at breakfast. The packed lunch they supplied was excellent.

In terms of meals, we ate breakfast, lunch and dinner here (plus morning/ afternoon snacks) and the choice and quality of the food and drink were all absolutely excellent - as was the service. Our balcony and the lodge’s terrace/ grounds were wonderful places to see many types of birds. The lodge sits at the foot of a cliff from where the Zulu attack at Isandlwana was directed and so was an ideal place…
Stopped here for lunch whilst visiting the battlefields on a group tour. Coach couldn't get up the drive - too steep, but the walk was fine and worth it. Excellent lunch, as others have said, great welcome and nothing seems too much trouble for the staff. Wonderful views, probably the best you can get to appreciate the whole battlefields site. Would definitely recommend.
