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.

Great spot!!
Montusi Mountain Lodge
Lovely stay at this family-run resort. Great welcome and help with exploring the area. We understand why some guests return regularly. Extremely happy with the cottages, lodge, dining and sitting areas, and swimming pool; all are airy and attractive with terrific views. Great food. A highlight was the opportunity to tour the nearby village, including the primary school, with one of the Montusi staff. Rain kept us from ambitious hiking, but the opportunities are there. Highly recommended.

A wonderful lodge with Stunning scenery
We loved our stay at montusi lodge. If you want to explore the heritage park and the beautiful drakensberg mountains , its perfect.
We had a spacious thatched cottage with a kitchen and sitting area. Lovely big bedroom and bathroom.
The restaurant was excellent for breakfast and evening dinner. With fantastic views. The pool area brilliant & horse riding on site. The Drakensberg mountains are stunningly beautiful , with the Montusi lodge sitting close to motusi peak which we climbed. We felt safe and very much in awe of the surroundings. Would highly recommend.

Lodge in den Bergen
Sehr schöne Lodge mit einzelnen Häusern. Liegt abgelegen in den Bergen, so dass man die Ruhe genießen kann. Es werden einige Aktivitäten wie z.B. Reiten oder geführte Wanderungen angeboten. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
