Went hiking in the Royal Natal National Park. Stayed here as the rooms were much better than that in the park itself. About a 15 minute drive through the village and fields to the park entrance gate. The chalets are fairly modern, with good finishes. Lovely views of the lower berg and amphitheatre . The food was much better than expected, and the service was personalised and good. Management were on-site and responsive. Will stay there againMore

Overall this is a fantastic Lodge with amazing views of the mountain. There was a variety of food options to suit many dietary requirements. The owners are very hands on when it comes to the customer experience. The hikes were well-marked and catered for various fitness levels.
Hi Ash,
Thanks so much for your lovely review. We really enjoyed hosting your family and hope to see you all again soon.
All the best for 2021,

I’m leaving this beautiful haven feeling relaxed and revived.Oscar the cat was the cherry on the top.Great service from Ammilette our server who greeted us morning and at dinner time and smiled with her beautiful eyes coz of covid19 regulations wearing her mask. To the overwhelming view of the mountain that really intimidated me, and really tested my body,I totally recommend doing the hiking trails the clean fresh air lush green vegetation and plant species are so amazing.the best part of all the cool fresh wild waters that flow with so much force out the mountain.
Montusi a must stay good food clean comfortable beds and stunning views of the darkens berg.
Dear Rustin,
Thanks so much for including Montusi in your KZN adventure.
It was an absolute treat to host you and share our mountains with you. Thank you for loving your hike and the unadulterated beauty of the pristine wilderness in her full summertime glory.
I will pass your compliments onto Ammilette. I'm so glad her kind heart shone through the mask!
We hope to welcome you back to Montusi in the future.
Kind regards,
Lindsay
This was my first post lockdown holiday and it was an ideal starting point and a much valued holiday. The lodge is located in magnificent surrounds in close proximity to the Royal national park for those, like myself, that appreciate early morning hikes.
The lodge is beautifully maintained, aesthetically pleasing, modern with character and to top it all provides fantastic service. The food was amazing both for dinner and breakfast. Dietary needs were met without reverting to boring and the meals were delicious - with generous portion sizes!
I had a wonderful stay and will certainly pay a future visit and hopefully a longer one visit next time.
Thank you so much for your lovely review of your time with us!
It has been quite a year, and providing guests with the space to restore their souls is an honour. We are so happy that you enjoyed your time here and had the opportunity to explore the mountains.
They will be waiting for your next visit!
Kind regards,

This is a great lodge. Many things to do in the area - hiking, mountain biking and other adventures.
We had dinner twice at the restaurant and it was fantastic!
Lunch also very good. Nice vegan menu. Very good wine selection as well.
The chalet we stayed in was very comfortable.
Thanks so much for your great review of your time at Montusi.
Guests staying in the Self-catering Cottages are indeed welcome to book meals at the lodge dining room:)
There are so many things to do and keep busy, but also ample opportunity to soak in the peace and quiet.
We hope to welcome you back again soon.
Kind regards,
Lindsay
We spent three nights at Montusi and this was probably our 5th or 6th visit. We first visited Montusi whilst living in SA but since moving to Europe we have continued to visit SA and have returned to Montusi twice. The chalets are comfortable and ours had a new bathroom. Food is a good standard and service is excellent. The walks around the property are well marked and there is a daily complimentary guided walk. I also had a massage which was great after a long walk. Great views.
Dear Caroline,
Thanks for your lovely review and for coming back to visit Montusi again and again:)
It is wonderful to be a haven for you when you are back in South Africa. We've had all our bathrooms upgraded, so every suite has smart new bathrooms!
We look forward to hosting you again.
All the best,
Lindsay
