CLEOPATRA’S MOUNTAIN FARMHOUSE
Excitingly different, this farm-style retreat in the Drakensberg Mountains is a place of legendary culinary delight. With a passion for cooking and a flair for ingenuity, Richard and Mouse Poynton have created a rare experience in their idyllic mountain setting near Giant's Castle. Every one of Richard's sumptuous meals - more personalized than any - is an extraordinary chef-d'oeuvre that redefines the concept of flavor. Blazing log fires on chilly evenings and choice wines from the cellar make perfect accompaniments. Each room has been decorated with pure originality and has its own veranda with wonderful views of the mountains and a glistening, trout-stocked dam. For most guests however, Cleopatra's enthusiastic celebration of food, flavor and freshness is rated its first attraction.

ISANDLWANA LODGE

Stylish and thought provoking, the distinctive Isandlwana Lodge in the heart of Zululand, enjoys unparalleled views of Isandlwana Mountain and the brooding plains on which the battle of Isandlwana was fought. There are thirteen spacious bedrooms, each en-suite with power showers and private balconies. The rooms are decorated to the highest international standards in a mixture of traditional and modern styling. Rob Gerrard, resident historian, continues to intrigue and inspire guests with his up-to-date information and his dynamic presentation skills on the history of the area and the Anglo-Zulu War
