The staff were incredibly helpful and made sure that I had a comfortable stay. I also enjoyed the delicious meals, especially the Chicken Potjie. Despite the rough road leading up to the lodge, the effort was well worth it. I highly recommend this lodge for anyone looking for a pleasant and unique experience.

    The staff were really friendly and helpful during our stay. The accommodation was spotless and beautifully decorated, making it a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The pool was a great feature, especially during the hot days. The food served at the hotel was absolutely delicious, definitely a highlight of our stay.

    The road leading to the lodge was quite challenging to drive on, especially if you don't have a 4WD. The internet connection was almost non-existent, which was a bit frustrating.

    I had an incredible stay at a lodge nestled in the beautiful countryside. The views were breathtaking and the tranquil setting allowed me to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that every need was met. The meals provided were delicious and well-portioned. The highlight of my visit was the tour of the Zulu battlefields, led by an experienced guide who brought the history to life. I highly recommend this hotel for a memorable and relaxing getaway.

    The rooms were comfortable and cozy, and the communication before arrival was excellent. the location was quiet and peaceful, offering stunning views of the surrounding hills. One of the best aspects was the private delivery of pre-ordered meals, which surpassed expectations.

    The food options were not consulted, and I would have preferred to have been able to choose. the road leading to the hotel was quite difficult to drive on, especially without a 4WD vehicle.

    The lodge offers a fantastic African experience, with excellent facilities and helpful staff. the setting is stunning, with breathtaking views over the African bush that can be enjoyed from the well-furnished chalets. the food is outstanding, with large portions and well-cooked dishes delivered to your chalet with a smile. the lodge offers informative battlefield tours for those interested in history.

    The road leading up to the lodge can be difficult to navigate, and better signage is needed.

    our recent stay in rorke's drift was amazing, but RDL took it to another level. the views were breathtaking, the staff was friendly, and the tour was informative. we loved sitting out and enjoying the wildlife. RDL exceeded our expectations during our honeymoon.

    Rough track made approach difficult.
