Three Tree Hill Lodge, Battlefields (KwaZulu Natal)

Surrounded by the Drakensberg Mountains and overlooking the Spioenkop Nature Reserve lies Three Tree Hill Lodge. The lodge overlooks the Spioenkop Nature Reserve, which contains white rhino, giraffe, zebra, eland, kudu, numerous smaller antelope and 270 recorded bird species. The idyllic setting belies the tragic events that were to unfold on January 24 1900, when Boer and Brit fought over Spioenkop in the bloodiest battle of the Anglo-Boer war. Each of the six twin cottages has its own bath, shower and verandah, with magnificent views of Spioenkop - even from the bath. Three Tree Hill Lodge's cuisine is a unique fusion of home and modern flavours. Enjoy leisurely meals and conversation on the cool wide verandas of the lodge. In keeping with the historic atmosphere, Three Tree Hill Lodge has been constructed using wood and iron so as to resemble the housing kits brought out from Britain in the nineteenth century. A viewing deck, swimming pool, library and wonderful walks offer complete relaxation in a truly African setting.
