After a long dusty drive the lodge appears on the hill side and looks very impressive. We stayed for 2 nights but wished it had been longer. The food and service was absolutely awesome and the view from the room overlooking the Zulu village and the battlefields were stunning. The chance to have a pre dinner drink with Pat who... More

As you drive the dusty roads approaching the lodge you are awed by its unique shape and its location. This gorgeous lodge with its entire roof in the shape of a Zulu warrior’s shield appears to be tucked into a large crevice in the side of the mountain overlooking the Battlefields, and traditional Zulu villages in the valley below. The... More

It takes about 3 seconds for the dusty road to be forgotten once you arrive at this cracker of a lodge. The greeting is gracious and genuine and the lodge is magic from reception, common areas and throughout. The rooms have spectacular panoramic views of the fields of Isandlwana and are reminiscent of a great safari lodge. Most come for... More

Having just returned from a stay at Isandlwana Lodge I want to share with you what a great time my husband and I had there. Our stay was short, only two nights but when we left I felt as if we were leaving a place that was very precious to us. The manager Andre and all his staff were so... More

The Lodge is located in the historic area of the Anglo-Zulu wars of the 19th century.

We stayed 2 nights and was our first stop after arrival from the UK. I totally concur previous review - a very strong recommendation. The style is elegant and relaxed country house with... More

9 thirsty and tired Bustard Eagles (over 45's Vintage Rugby team from Australia) arrived aster a Vintage Rugby carnival in Cape Town. Our first sight of the lodge was to see the lodge, seemingly wedged into a cliff, perched high with an outlook across a couple of hillocks. As we arrived, we were greeted with cool drinks and welcoming smiles.... More

I have just returned from an amazing 2 week holiday travelling around South Africa, and by the far the best experience was the 2 days I spent at Isandlwana Lodge. Right from the moment of arrival, the staff were amazing, and the place itself is just stunning. Tucked into the mountain, the lodge overlooks the battlefields and is the perfect... More
