Three Tree Hill Lodge

An understated and unpretentious lodge with charming atmosphere and staff. The comfortable rooms had fabulous views. The battlefield tours were fantastic with Pierre, our guide. The lodge had Boer War memorabilia dotted around to add to the interest. The food was innovative and delicious and the wine selection excellent. A weekend to remember !

Three Trees is simply wonderful in every respect. The setting is sublime, the rooms are stunning, the food is fantastic and every member of the team treats you as if you are part of their family. We were the only guests for our first two nights, and rather than leave us to dine alone, the owner Cheryl hosted us, along with one team member and his mother, which made the first evening so special. The second night we ate with Pier, who knows everything about everything and gave us a brilliant time. Speaking of Pier, his Spion Kop tour is fantastic and brought this historic event to life. If you visit, make time for the village tour - we were taken by Melanie (who is a superb and friendly lodge manager) and N’tobeku, a wonderful Zulu native who showed us her home, explained Zulu traditions and taught us so much. And then just walk around the estate and look at the wildlife and nature. All in all, a wonderful experience and we hope to return soon.

Sadly we could only stay for one night but the owners and staff were delightful from the moment we booked to when we left. Food was so tasty and the wines were delicious. Pierre’s history tour was incredibly moving and despite me getting a B minus for what I remember that was in no way was the teacher’s fault ! A lovely beautiful quiet spot that everyone should make an effort to find. I wish we could have hiked into the Drakensberg mountains but that will have to wait for next time! The lovely staff made us feel we were home from home and we could not ask for more
