Self-catering cottages at the foot of the Sani Pass in the southern Drakensberg, inside the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg World Heritage Site and 8 km from the border with Lesotho.


Walking and hiking trails start right from the property, and the lodge runs 4x4 tours up the Sani Pass to the top, where you can visit Lesotho and have a drink at the Sani Mountain Lodge, which claims to be the highest pub in Africa. Mountain biking, birding, trout fishing and horse riding can all be arranged, and there's a restaurant on site.


You need a 4x4 to drive the pass yourself, and a passport to cross into Lesotho.
