Room was clean, spacious, and quiet. Restaurant food is very good. We had breakfast (included) and dinner (E295pp for 3 course set menu). The grounds are beautiful with several cows roaming around. The drive up to reception is quite long (felt like about 2-3km) but don’t worry, you’re on the right track! You’ll meet several cows on that road too so don’t go too fast! Overall an idyllic setting.

The room was very clean and the grounds were stunning. The old colonial style in the bar and restaurant with all of the history attached to it are characterful. The staff were friendly and attentive. The rooms are a little tired in places but that does not detract from the ambiance.

Fantastic stay here while visiting the Boer war sites in the area with Raymond. The premises is a renovated historic farm from the war era, retaining as much of the original detail as possible. The bar is cosy and reeks of history while the dining area is a modern addition. I stayed in the old house, which has been converted into a number of en-suite bedrooms. Nature surrounds you in the beautiful grounds and the staff were friendly and attentive. Meals were simple but filling and fantastic. Raymond is incredibly knowledgeable and the tours he gives are full of expert detail. Although I had read a number of books about the war, actually visiting the sites on and around this property really brought home the tragedy and futility of the events. Thanks to Raymond and the staff for looking after me and showing me around!

I stayed one night at Spion Kop Lodge en route to Isandlwana. The staff were very welcoming, I was the only diner that evening in the restaurant and got excellent service. I loved the many historical artifacts and pictures decorating the lodge.

A visit to Spionkop Lodge is so enlightening because of the history buried in the area delivered so enchantingly by the hosts. It's a true oasis bang in the middle of an African bush. The cottages however are a bit secluded for my liking, and after dark you really wonder if you are completely safe. But my fears proved unfounded because the surroundings are as tranquil as they come.

A very comfortable place despite the temps in the mid to upper 90's(no A/C in the bedroom. but very dry humidity and a gentle wind kept us comfortable.

We spent two nights at SpionKop Lodge during the midst of a two week trip to South Africa. Unfortunately our flight was delayed by several hours coming into Durban which resulted in our getting to SpionKop Lodge quite late. We kept in contact via phone and there were people waiting for us even with our late arrival. All of the staff was very helpful. The cottage we were assigned was quite large - well beyond our expectations. The beds should be replaced - we could feel the springs in several of the beds. Our breakfast was quite nice, but was not included - that would have definitely been our preference. We did a Battle site tour our last morning through the lodge and that was excellent! We spent a day hiking in Royal Natal National Park - it was about an hour drive from the lodge. A beautiful location, but it is necessary to have a car when staying here if you want to do anything besides sit.

Familiar atmosphere, very helpful and assisting hosts, convenient location to visit Drakensberge's scenic points and quite a good value for the money. Worth to go there again.

A fabulous place to stay near the Drakensburgs. The bird life in the gardens is amazing. Be sure you like dogs before booking. The resident dogs are a delight

A historic gem with friendly staff, but the rooms are very worn, and I couldn’t shake the feeling of being transported back to the colonial era — a vibe I’m not fond of for many reasons. So overall, the place was not for me at all.
