Welcome to Cleopatra Mountain Farmhouse
We look forward to welcoming you with gourmet food, roaring log fires and luxurious farmhouse hospitality. Nestled in the heart of the KwaZulu-Natal Drakensberg, we are a luxury, gourmet lodge dedicated to sumptuous food and rustic luxury.
Come and dine with us:
Dinner is a sumptuous 5-course affair with no effort or expense spared to give our guests a memorable dining experience. A host talks you through every mouthful from pan to plate before you sit down to enjoy the culinary team's creations - and they don't mind telling you that Cleopatra’s food is all about the tastes, fun and passion that go into good country cooking!
Don’t forget to stay for breakfast, though. The unusual and exciting farmhouse breakfasts are the icing on the cake of your flavourful time with us. We so look forward to your stay with us at Cleopatra Mountain Farmhouse.
Lunch is served in 3 course with the freshest ingredients are essential, and being able to pick from the gardens minutes before serving is a real pleasure.
