Montusi Mountain Lodge

Montusi Mountain Lodge is family owned and operated. It is the only luxury destination in the area with a full and uninterrupted view of the Drakensberg's most famous part: the Amphitheatre escarpment. Every building is specifically placed to take full advantage of the spectacular mountain scenery. Each suite is a free standing building set in the indigenous gardens, ensuring privacy and tranquility. The 1000 hectare estate offers the active guest the freedom to explore on foot, mountain bike or horse; while the more sedentary folk can relax at the pool, in the lounge or on the patio and absorb the magic of the mountains. Meals are a highlight of the Montusi Experience with the kitchen delivering delicious dishes to suit every taste. Montusi is a place where guests can connect with each other, themselves and nature and leave feeling restored.

Area Info

Since June 2000 the Carte family at Montusi Mountain Lodge has provided an opportunity for their guests to intimately indulge in the freedom of the Drakensberg experience.

We believe in the conservation of the Northern Drakensberg and so we have preserved and planted - changing a Wattle infested wasteland into a rehabilitated conservation area. Our indigenous trees and manmade forests continue to flourish and the resultant birdlife (once non-existent) has become abundant. This ethic has resulted in the return of the Mountain Reedbuck, Vaal Rhebuck, Bushbuck and the elusive Eland to this area once inhabited by Bushmen.

Montusi is 20km from the famous Royal Natal National Park, 8km from the Amphitheatre Golf Course and only 4 km from All Out Adventures.
