The accommodation was pretty average and I would rate them 3 stars, definitely not 4 stars. Info from Alistair and Lynette was extremely helpful, thank you
I stayed one night at Spion Kop Lodge en route to Isandlwana. The staff were very welcoming, I was the only diner that evening in the restaurant and got excellent service. I loved the many historical artifacts and pictures decorating the lodge.
Very difficult to find if you have no internet in the car The GPS doesn t know the place. Had to ask people in petrol stations. But nice place!

A History Class
A visit to Spionkop Lodge is so enlightening because of the history buried in the area delivered so enchantingly by the hosts. It's a true oasis bang in the middle of an African bush. The cottages however are a bit secluded for my liking, and after dark you really wonder if you are completely safe. But my fears proved unfounded because the surroundings are as tranquil as they come.
A very comfortable place despite the temps in the mid to upper 90's(no A/C in the bedroom. but very dry humidity and a gentle wind kept us comfortable.
We spent two nights at SpionKop Lodge during the midst of a two week trip to South Africa. Unfortunately our flight was delayed by several hours coming into Durban which resulted in our getting to SpionKop Lodge quite late. We kept in contact via phone and there were people waiting for us even with our late arrival. All of the staff was very helpful. The cottage we were assigned was quite large - well beyond our expectations. The beds should be replaced - we could feel the springs in several of the beds. Our breakfast was quite nice, but was not included - that would have definitely been our preference. We did a Battle site tour our last morning through the lodge and that was excellent! We spent a day hiking in Royal Natal National Park - it was about an hour drive from the lodge. A beautiful location, but it is necessary to have a car when staying here if you want to do anything besides sit.
Peace and quiet for city people. Lovely surroundings, friendly hosts and roomy accommodation. The children enjoyed the pool and we also had a nice dinner.
Familiar atmosphere, very helpful and assisting hosts, convenient location to visit Drakensberge's scenic points and quite a good value for the money. Worth to go there again.
A fabulous place to stay near the Drakensburgs. The bird life in the gardens is amazing. Be sure you like dogs before booking. The resident dogs are a delight
Great place! Had slight problem with the cabin we were going to stay in, but the management handled it very gracefully and without a problem. Overall great environment, beautiful view, friendly people, comfortable spaces.
