overview

Set against the magnificent backdrop of the Drakensberg Mountain range and overlooking the infamous battlefield of Spioenkop, Three Tree Hill Lodge was opened to coincide with the centenary of the Anglo Boer War. Set on the former site of a British military headquarters, the lodge has been constructed mainly from wood and iron to resemble the housing kits that were brought out from Britain in the 19th century.

It is of course the amazing story of the Battle of Spioenkop in 1900 that will be the focal point of your stay; guests will enjoy an introductory talk on the origins of the Boer War and the Natal campaign. Explore the other battlefields in the region with the lodge's expert guide or take a guided walk, horse ride, or mountain biking excursion into the foothills of the Drakensberg. The nearby Spioenkop Game Reserve affords guests the chance to spot a range of animals that includes rhino, giraffe and zebra.

Facilities

The main lounge at Three Tree Hill is spaciously open-plan with large double doors leading out on to the veranda.

Relax in one of the comfy chairs with a drink, read in the afternoon sun or sit by the fire on a cool autumn evening.

Guests can enjoy the breathtaking views of the valley from the swimming pool or large terrace, where meals can also be served.

The lodge offers a wide range of activities - the focus is of course of the many Battlefields in the area - but guests may also go hiking, mountain biking, horse riding and even game viewing at the nearby Spioenkop Game Reserve.

Bird watchers will be keen to get ticking off some of the 300 species recorded in the area.

Traveller Reviews

  • The Spionkop Three Trees Lodge was very good and an excellent suggestion - we wanted more time there as it was so good and the food and hospitality excellent.

    Iain Cockin, July 2009

  • Simon and Cheryl are exceptional hosts and even take guests for walks in the afternoon, to view the wild life. Food very good, friendly staff, laundry done free of charge. Accommodation comfortable.
