Nestled amidst the tranquil hills of the Drakensberg, Three Tree Hill Lodge emerges as a sanctuary for those seeking respite from the chaos of urban life. Recently, we had the pleasure of enjoying the serenity of this remarkable lodge, and it proved to be an experience akin to stepping into a dream.
From the moment you arrive, Three Tree Hill embraces you with its natural beauty. Picture-perfect vistas of rolling hills, adorned with the graceful presence of rhinos and other game, greet you as you settle into the charming accommodations. The spacious rooms offer not only comfortable beds but also sweeping views that extend over the majestic mountains, serving as a constant reminder of the awe-inspiring environment surrounding you.
But it's not just the scenery that captivates at Three Tree Hill; it's the holistic experience meticulously crafted by the dedicated staff. Every aspect of your stay is thoughtfully taken care of, from the delectable three-course meals prepared by talented chefs to the cozy corners of the wine cellar and library where you can unwind and lose yourself in a good book.
One of the highlights of our stay was the opportunity to delve into the rich history and culture of the region. Whether joining horse rides into the mountains or embarking on a village tour, each excursion provided valuable insights into the local heritage, making the experience not just a retreat but also an immersive journey into the heart of South Africa's natural and cultural heritage.
Owned by the passionate Simon and Cheryl Blackburn, Three Tree Hill is more than just a lodge; it's a testament to their deep-rooted love for Africa's wildlife, history, and culture. Their warm hospitality and commitment to Responsible Tourism create an atmosphere where guests feel not just welcomed but truly at home.
Conveniently located close to the base of Van Reenens pass, Three Tree Hill Lodge serves as an ideal midway point between Johannesburg and Durban. This strategic positioning makes it the perfect hub for exploring the surrounding treasures, including the major Anglo-Boer War Battlefields, the Northern Drakensberg Mountains, and the Anglo-Zulu War Battlefields.
At Three Tree Hill, the possibilities for adventure are endless. Whether you're indulging in horse trails, embarking on game walks, or simply basking in the tranquility of nature, there's something for every soul seeking solace in the embrace of the Drakensberg. It's a place where time slows down, and the soul finds its rhythm amidst the beauty of the mountains.
