Near the Maletsunyane River, this lodge is a model of community tourism and a great place for everyone from families to adventure seekers. If the inviting accommodation, including cosy rondavels (round hut with a conical roof) with fireplaces, doesn't make you extend your stay in the mountains, fireside feasts in the lodge's recently expanded Duck & Donkey Tavern (mains M75 to M120) surely will.
There’s also a kitchen for those who want to self-cater. Staff can arrange all kinds of tours and hikes, employing locals to navigate the villages and steep trails, including extreme catch-and-release fly-fishing expeditions, overnight pony trekking and even pub crawls by donkey. Then there’s the world’s longest commercially operated, single-drop abseil (204m) down the Maletsunyane Falls.
The lodge is signposted from the town centre, 2km down a gravel road.
