Three Tree Hill  

Set in Bergville against the dramatic Drakensberg backdrop, Three Tree Hill overlooks the secluded Mfazimnyama Valley and sits in the lee of Spioenkop. This family-friendly lodge is close to the Drakensberg Boys Choir School and Cathedral Peak, near Spioenkop Battlefield and Dam, and about 27 km from the N3 — an ideal halfway stop between Johannesburg and Durban.

An intimate, owner-managed colonial lodge with nine individually decorated rooms and a warm, homely vibe. Expect country-style décor, fine linen and mountain views; rooms feature separate tubs and showers plus bathrobes and slippers, with daily housekeeping and safes for convenience.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, rent bicycles to explore the surrounds, relax in the library or fire up the picnic and BBQ areas. Concierge and a tour desk can book excursions, and the lodge offers laundry/dry cleaning, babysitting (surcharge), free self-parking, a bar and room service — wake up to Drakensberg mornings and easy local adventures.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property, luggage storage and secure safes — simple, reliable facilities for a working stopover.

On-site restaurant and bar serve hearty, locally grown country-style dishes. A complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast is offered daily from 7:30 AM to 9:30 AM, and room service is available for laid-back meals in your room.
