Three Tree Hill

Had a brilliant stay at Three Tree Hill. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The food was great and plentiful. There are so many things to do whilst you are there. We went on the history trip with Pierre and it was excellent. He's very knowledgeable and tells it in an accessible way. Telling you what happened but also the history behind why it happened. We had breakfast on our last morning watching giraffes close by having their's.

Three Tree Hill is amazing, it was our second visit and it just gets better! The food, rooms, activities, attention to detail- everything was brilliant. It is clearly owner run with such a special touch. We will definitely be back!! We took 3 generations on a family trip, and everyone loved it. There really is something for everyone.

Three tree hill definitely is the place to be to get away from daily business. You are really off the grid in this resort. Close to a game parc this ecofriendly resort has been a highlight in our journey. ||The staff is extremely friendly and hospitality is their main driver. ||We stayed in one of the twin cottages with the remarkable view on the valley. ||Also the wine cellar has great wines on stock. | Should you visit them don’t forget to take the sundowner and the dip in the plungepool.

A very nice lodge in an amazing place, surrounded by nature. There are lots of activities to do, and an incredible library where you can spend the whole day without getting bored. The food was delicious, and the dessert was amazing. A great thing is that the lodge is eco-friendly. I’ll definitely recommend it! Thanks to the staff for their wonderful hospitality

Stayed at Three Tree Lodge for two nights as an extended stop-over on the road to Balito - wish we would have booked an additional night! The rooms as well as the view were phenomenal. The staff definitely over-performed when it comes to service. They took our luggage from the car, welcome drinks, turn down service etc. - the whole package, while always being friendly and helpful. We had a guided history tour of Spioenkop which was well done and informative to say the least. Food was all home made meals of excellent quality. Here slight improvements can be made to really make Three Tree Lodge a 5 star experience. For tourists I would judge the value for money very good, for South African traveler’s slightly less so. Overall I could highly recommend staying at the Three Tree Lodge. My wife and I most certainly will be coming back in the future.

Our stay at Three Thee Hill definitely warrants a 5 star or 10/10 review….. from the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Melanie and Cheryl and showed to our lodge, which itself has the amazing views over the valley. We did an optional guided walk with Cheryl (the owner) which from the first steps was very special; we nearly stumbled into some Zebra and did a beautiful walk for circa two hours into the game reserve. Food that evening was excellent, as it was for the rest of our stay. Our main full day was spent with Pierre who is a walking history book on all things Spioenkop; his introduction over breakfast (wonderful again – surroundings and food itself) and his on-site explanations really brought the atrocities and mistakes of the battle to life; highly recommended for anyone with an interest into the past of South Africa.

Three Tree Hill Lodge has been on our bucket list (as locals – not only South Africans, but from KwaZulu-Natal) for some time and, having finally got to experience it, it did not disappoint! The lodge is a mix of old-world charm with its farm-style buildings, rich history, magnificent library, and secluded peace and tranquillity; but still caters for modern tastes with its very green/eco-friendly practices, farm to fork catering, wifi available in communal areas and tantalising wine cellar.||While many guests may choose to visit Three Tree Hill for its wonderful setting in the Foothills of the Northern Drakensberg, our family wanted to visit for its close association with the Anglo-Boer War, specifically the Battle of Spioenkop. We stayed for two nights, and packed our visit with a guided Artillery Trail on the afternoon we arrived, and Churchill’s Capture and the Battles of Colenso & Spioenkop on our only full day. Our guide, Pierre, was very knowledgeable and regaled us with many stories from both sides, still being moved to tears when quoting the words of Deneys Reitz as written in Commando towards the end of the day.||Our time between tours was spent enjoying the magnificent facilities that the lodge has to offer and three freshly-prepared sumptuous three-course meals. If that was not enough, we also got to partake in glorious African sundowners overlooking Spioenkop Dam, afternoon tea and cake served on the ‘stoep’, and a few games well-contested family Rummy in between. ||Cheryl and Melanie were wonderful hosts, seeing to our every need along with their team, all offering their attentive yet unobtrusive service.||The only thing left to mention was the accommodation– we were in a lovely large family cottage (Kiplings) – that was thoughtfully, beautifully and comfortably decorated. As keeping with the main lodge, it offered all he luxuries we could possibly want, while being inspired by its history and sympathetic to its environment.||I would highly recommend the opportunity to visit Three Tree Hills – you will not be disappointed!

We had a lovely 2-night stay at Three Tree Hill. The staff were very friendly, accommodating and willing to do whatever it takes for you to have the best experience. The food was amazing, I loved that it was very health conscious. A lot of effort was put into every detail of our stay. I would highly recommend Three Tree Hill.
