The Lodge is situated on the site of the original Rattray homestead where David’s parents Peter and Gillian came for their holidays and here the seeds of this unique operation took root in those early years.
Spacious, luxury ensuite cottages each have a private verandah affording views over the plains flanking the Buffalo River Gorge. Another feature of the Lodge is the beautiful, shady, well established garden, home to innumerable birds, and the large swimming pool situated on a secluded spur on the lip of the Buffalo River gorge.
Enjoy superb cuisine, a unique fusion of home and modern flavours, in the splendid atmosphere of a veritable museum of Zulu War memorabilia. (ITT)
The Lodge is the most luxurious accommodation offered, and was fully renovated in 2017. Spacious and luxurious en-suite cottages have private verandahs, air-conditionning, and both inside and outside showers. The Lodge has a swimming pool with a fantastic view, and is where the Harford Library and Museum are located. We have 2 sets of rooms that are interleading ie can accommodate 2 families requiring interleading rooms.
Charming rooms set in the garden of the Guest House are all en suite with bath and shower. A private veranda as well as air-conditioning, fridge and tea and coffee making facilities add to your comfort.
The farmhouse is a charming stone and corrugated iron roof building built in the 1920’s. It was the home of George Buntting, who was an expert on the Anglo-Zulu War. The farmhouse is at the top of the reserve and has a wonderful view of Isandlwana. It has 3 en-suite bedrooms (king, queen and twin rooms), a sitting room with a fireplace, a dining room, and a kitchen. Although the accommodation is self-catering, you may choose to have some or all meals at the lodge at an additional cost. Should you decide to take this accommodation, you will need to travel to and from the lodge or the guest house for tours and/ or meals (a 5-10 minute drive).
