    The staff is the friendliest lot. The facilities are exceptionally clean. There's a porter that transports your bags and fetches you from your room in the evenings.

    The Lodge sits on top of a koppie, with sweeping views of the valley below and the Umfolozi River. The meals were excellent and well presented. The lodge is an easy 3-hour drive from Durban and accessible off the R68
