Montusi welcomes children of all ages by
arrangement. However, tranquility is one of main attractions and we do ask
that children are closely supervised by parents. We have early mealtimes for
families with small children. Baby sitters by prior arrangement only.
Self Catering Cottages
We have a limited number of self-catering cottages on the estate, providing
space for between 4 to 6 visitors per chalet (which includes all persons
over the age of two; the number of visitors per chalet is fixed). The
cottages are generously furnished and equipped with stove, fridge, freezer,
microwave, under floor heating, etc. Bedding and towels are provided. The
cottages are serviced daily but does not include dishwashing. Guests must
bring their own supplies.

Montusi lodge is situated in the nothern section
of the Drakensbergen, near the famous Royal Natal National Park.
Activities include hiking, horse riding, trout
fishing, golf, swimming and even trapezing. We also do guided tours to the
surrounding tribal areas, all still authentic.
Montusi consists of a large and beautifully
thatched main building (with reception, restaurant, terrace, bar, lounge and
meeting room) and 14 spacious, tastefully decorated, individual garden
suites which are among the most luxurious in the Drakensberg.
Swimming Pool
Our fenced swimming pool looks out at the escarpment. The surrounding rocks
have provided inspiration for this unusual and beautifully crafted pool
which makes it the guest's favourite place in summer. Here, we have built a
thatched pavilion, great for braais or functions, and more shade is provided
by old gum trees, and thatched umbrellas.
Lounge and Bar
Our comfortable lounge is a focal point for local and international guests.
We meet for chats, a game of scrabble/trivial pursuit/jenga or the
occasional event e.g. slide shows, talks, etc. The "Ememeli" Bar has a pool
table and darts area upstairs as well as plenty of room downstairs for
drinks and animated discussions.
Garden Suites
Each suite stands
alone in the garden and has a comfortable bedroom with en-suite bathroom (bath
and walk in shower), a lounge with a television, gas operated fire place and
private patio. Tea and coffee making facilities, including a bar fridge for
fresh milk, are provided. Bar service in the suite is available upon
request. All suites have a car port for one vehicle. Honeymoon suites have
a kingsize double bed and a corner tub for two. The suites all have
panoramic views of the Drakensberg’s Amphitheatre. The peace and quiet,
like our homemade chocolates and bread, are quite addictable!
Cuisine
Our intimate restaurant (with under-floor
heating and log fireplace) is renowned for sumptuous local cuisine with
innovative menus. Breakfast and dinner are included for lodge guests. Light
lunches and teas can be ordered separately. |
