Room information

Our traditionally designed African rondavel houses eight Double or Twin rooms and one Single room. Each room is simply decorated to allow for the appreciation of our breath-taking views of the Buffalo River and the slopes of the Shiyane Mountain, placing you in the heart of the Rorke’s Drift battlefield. Named after the heroic Victoria Cross recipients each room holds a special remembrance of the battle. 

Guests are welcomed to relax at the pool while enjoying the scenery and breeze drifting up from the river or may venture off alongside the river, enjoying the simplicity of life. A hike up the Shiyane mountain is also an adventure not to be missed.
