CENTRAL SITTING ROOM WITH LOG FIREPLACE

The beating heart of any great Lodge.

Our cosy sitting room provides a place to read a book next to the log fireplace, sip a local wine or connect with fellow adventurers. It has been the starting point of many a great story, Drakensberg exploration and friendship. For your convenience and in the interest of being sociable, the guest kitchen adjoins the living room area. Whether you'd rather sunbathe on a lounger next to the pool, or simply sip a cold beer by the braai whilst the sun sets on another stunning African day, Sani Lodge offers the perfect setting. For those seeking self-contained, private accommodation, we have lovely self-catering cottages which are perfect for a romantic getaway or a family holiday.

"An amazing place, staff are great, helpful and kind. Rooms are clean and nice. World-class trails. Cafe is great".
