Katse Lodge

Lesotho


In a suburban estate-like gated village, this property initially looks rather bland, but it improves when you see the terrace's stunning dam view. Accommodation is comfortable, including the so-called 'dormitory' rooms (private rooms with shared bathroom), and there's also camping (M100) allowed on the lawn and well-equipped self-catering houses (M1100 to M1499) sleeping up to six people.

The restaurant serves light lunches (mains M40 to M90) and dinner mains (M75 to M125) including curries, steaks, poached trout and delicious trout almandine (trout garnished with almonds). Activities including dam cruises, village tours, guided hikes and pony rides are offered.
