Cleopatras Mountain Farmhouse

Drakensberg Mountains

Located in the heart of the KwaZulu-Natal and at the foot of the towering Drakensberg Mountains, the lodge is dedicated to sumptuous food and rustic luxury. With just 12 rooms this is a haven for those looking to break away from the fast-paced life at home, and for those who enjoy mountain walks, roaring log fires, 5 course dinners with exceptional wines and time for relaxation and pampering. The setting is ideal if you like walking and exploring and there is a bar and fabulous restaurant built overlooking the late. Bird watching, cycling and even helicopter trips can be arranged. You can order a gourmet picnic to take with you on your adventures and the hotel dog might oblige and come along for a walk with you. 

The rooms are in cottages around the grounds and each one has fireplace, mini fridge, ceiling fan, Wi-Fi, mini bar, television and tea and coffee making facilities. Rooms are well furnished with ample indoor and outdoor seating.

How our Tent Ratings work

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
