Description

Rorke's Drift Lodge is a small intimate property which offers affordable comfort without compromise. Situated 5 km from Rorke's Drift, the property offers unique views of the famous Anglo-Zulu War battlefields of Rorke's Drift and Isandlwana that will always be remembered.

Four secluded luxuriously furnished en-suite rooms tastefully decorated in a Contemporary African style. Two units have baths and two have showers. Two double and two twin units.

Experience this great epic with our in-house guide, complete with orientation and tour.


NB: The road up to Rorkes Drift Lodge is 5km's long and must be negotiated at 20km/h. Standard hire cars are able to negotiate this road without damage but after rain the road can become quite wet so guests are advised to call the Lodge on the morning of arrival to check road conditions in general.

Please travel in daylight. There are no street lights and signage can be obscure.

We recommend that guests travelling to us hire Nissan X-Trails if they are anxious about negotiating the road.


Check-In  04:00 PM   Check-Out 11:00 AM

Historical & Cultural: The world-renowned battlefield of Rorke's Drift, famous for its award of 11 Victoria Crosses, lies 5 km's from our Lodge. Guests are lyrical about our battlefields experience and even the most casual interest in history is richly rewarded.

Great value venue
Richard Labrum, United Kingdom

My wife and I stayed for 3 weeks in south Africa travelling up to KwaZula - Natal and back along the Garden route to Capetown via Port Elizebeth. We stayed in many very pleasent B&B's, but I have to say that Rorkes Drift Lodge was one of the best experiences. Although perhaps not the most luxurious accommodation in the world, the views and feeling of remoteness were something that we will remember for a very long time. Paul and Christine made us very welcome in their home and joined us ... more
Very special holiday

We had a wonderful few days at Rorke's Drift Lodge. Lodge is simply furnished, has a wonderful view of Isandlwana and Zululand valleys. Food was good and different. We enjoyed Paul's guiding and his humour. Christine and Paul run a tight ship.
Fantastic

Our stay at Rorke's Drift was absolutely fantastic! I would recommend it to anyone and would definitely go there again! Paul and Christine are very hospitable and run an excellent lodge with a home feeling! Definitely value for money! Only bad side is the road leading to the lodge (although we were warned about it)
