Durban - Space, comfort and peace make Montusi Mountain Lodge the ultimate getaway. This beautiful family-owned and run lodge is situated in the Northern Drakensberg.
Montusi Mountain lodge has become established as one of the Berg’s most upmarket and exclusive getaways, specialising in personal attention to detail and luxury for the discerning guest.
The 14 individual suites are set apart in the thriving indigenous gardens with great views of the Amphitheatre. With kingsize beds, baths and walk-in showers, gas fireplaces, private patios, TVs, fridges, filter coffee, bubble bath, fresh flowers, robes and even umbrellas, every need is met.
Montusi’s food sets the lodge further apart from the standard Berg fare. Special requirements are catered for and the fresh ingredients and well thought-out menus make meals a highlight of the Montusi experience.
The 1 000ha estate is home to birdlife as well as antelope, small cats and reptiles. Activities on offer include hiking, horse-riding, fly-fishing, tennis and swimming, but one of the most enjoyable pastimes of Montusi guests is to sit and “just do nothing” while soaking in the ever-changing views of the light on the mountains.
