Rorke's Drift Lodge

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT AT RORKE’S DRIFT LODGE?
Three secluded luxuriously furnished en-suite rooms tastefully decorated in a Contemporary African style. One unit has a bath and two have showers. One unit is a suite with a double room and a twin room and one unit has a double bed and the other is a twin bedded room.

Kubili is a romantic double room with a view. The deck is on the same level as the leaves of the giant natal fig tree and birds can easily be sighted from your chair without the aid of binoculars. The bathroom is tucked under the room on the upper floor and has a luxurious "roman" shower.

Kutatu is a twin unit with luxury shower adjoining the Main Lodge. If you are looking for privacy just a few steps away from all the facilities this room should be your choice.

Kune is the suite with a double bed in one room and twin beds in the other. The bathroom has a bath and separate toilet and the room is situated on the Main Lodge building.

The Lodge is nestled against the side of the Sinqindi Mountain and affords the guest stunning views over the battlefield plains. It is surrounded by rolling lawns and giant trees.

Our farm track ensures seclusion and exclusivity without interference from noise or light pollution. Really see the stars of the Southern Hemisphere.

The gardens surrounding the Lodge are home to at least 100 species of birds.

The 1000 acres of lands that surround the Lodge afford the guest the opportunity to take walks and view the plentiful bird life. Regular sighting of ground hornbills, martial and black eagles, duiker, kudu, and warthogs. At nights the owls and bats come out to play.

There is a lounge with a TV set that has a facility for digital camera editing and has a dvd player so that guests can watch dvd's on our specialist subject - the battles of Rorke's Drift and Isandlwana. Please note that this set is not connected for TV viewing. We also have a comprehensive library with good reading matter on the battles of the area.

A Deck for relaxing after a long day with a view that stretches 40km to the horizon

And for the winter months we burn a log fire inside the Main Lodge and have an outside fire burning at sunset.

No cell phone reception and no heaters in the rooms (we are an eco conscious lodge that is concerned with our carbon footprint). We do however have ceiling fans in the rooms to ensure a cool sleep and we also have electric blankets on the beds so that guests can be ensured of a comfortable nights sleep.

You can enjoy delicious and varied 3 course dinners with the other guests staying at the lodge.

Full English breakfasts with home made bread, fruit, cereals and yogurt.

Early morning walks – a choice of 3 depending on your fitness level – can be taken before breakfast or at any time of the day.

Guided tours of the battlefields can be arranged and are highly recommended for adding maximum value to your visit.

Photo opportunities can be arranged to suit your needs.

And finally, you can expect a friendly, relaxed atmosphere where your hosts will try to ensure that your visit is memorable. Even the two Dogs Bubbles and Maximus will greet you enthusiastically on your arrival.

It is our aim to ensure that you arrive safely and depart both safe and happy. We therefore will go the extra mile to help you with any planning problems you may experience with the rest of your trip so do not hesitate to ask us if we can help. We also ask that should you have any health condition that requires special attention that you please inform us timeously so that we can be as helpful as possible in the event of our facility not being suitable for you.
