Inkungu Lodge, built of Lesotho Sandstone and thatch, surrounded by indigenous gardens and fronted by a sparkling rimflow pool, reflects and celebrates the fabulous views of the Central Drakensberg mountain ranges and colorful rolling hills of the Champagne Valley. Antique historic furniture, remarkable artworks and thoughtful, attractive decor give a nostalgic charm to this tranquil and well appointed boutique hotel. Enjoy watching the vibrant sunsets from the poolside patio and bar. Each room has it's own private bathroom with bath and shower, enjoys air-conditioning, tea/coffee facilities, personal safe and hair-dryer and has TV and DSTV. Wifi, a good library, and selection of board games can be discovered in the many cozy lounges and hideaways in this pretty and comfortable country retreat. Every room has it's own poolside patio or view-drenched balcony. Sumptuous breakfasts and excellent dinners are served in the dining room which opens onto the scenic poolside terrace. Well located in this touristically rich part of KZN, activities close by range from golf, fly fishing, bird watching, hiking, mountain climbing, horse riding and zip-lining to watching birds of prey, discovering more about bees and enjoying the beautiful voices of the famed Drakensberg Boys Choir School.
