St James Lodge

 
 

Description

Nestled quietly on a hillside, deep within the barren Maloti Mountain range and overlooking the working Roman Catholic Mission of St James, lies the igneous rock buildings of St James Lodge.

These modernized century old buildings are conveniently situated on the Thaba Tseka road only 1hr away from the infamous Sani Pass, and just under 2hrs away from the new snow skiing resort of Afriski.

Fill your lungs with the fresh mountain air, see the stars like you've never seen them before, experience the rich Basotho culture and history of the area, and most importantly, relax and enjoy the views.

We had a good time at St James Lodge. The environment was homely and very relaxing. As to Elias and Paulina, they were exceptionally outstanding, hospitable, friendly and helpful. I will surely make another visit to the lodge.

We spent a lovely night at St James. Met 3 girls in matric who came to talk to us and following day met an old man who wanted to play his musical "stick" for us. Very interesting. Only problem was lack of light - one of us had a fall coming out of lounge to the braai - steps very uneven. Got good service from the staff.
Value for money

Thank you to St James Lodge. We had a great time. The lodge is kept clean by the staff and they are very helpful. I would recommend it to anybody. It is also nicely situated in the middle between Sani and Caledonspoort.
Enjoyable
