Don’t miss it :) A must see! I highly recommend that you come and stay here. The views from our room across the valley were jaw-droppingly beautiful. Our chalet was very spacious and decorated to a high standard. Kitchen had everything you need for self catering. The property was clean and tidy throughout. The team was super friendly and helpful and made us feel very much at home. The tour of the battle sites was informative and really transported us back in time for a slice of Anglo-Zulu history. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6245A7D009B559D28660C982BD41A50E3189DCDA1625668186594.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7D172C5E74A8A41A70A72B14EC02C194D30CE2191625668244196.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A777C12530771E18F87D506E5583A6B736B4D8791625668186755.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Catharina Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 10 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities we loved the uninterrupted views from the patio of our unit which was Kubili. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Jane 12 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Peace perfect peace The most peaceful place we stayed in SA with amazing views and some delicious food delivered to our kitchen area. Access road challenging but just about do-able - we took 25 minutes to cover 5km in a Toyota Corolla - glad it was a hire car an not my own! Paul amazingly knowledgable about the local history (the reason for the visit) and his tour was brilliant. Room beautiful with spiral staircase down to gorgeous bathroom. ##### Jane ### 2/10 Terrible #### Peter, Ascot, UK 28 Feb 2018 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### If you want to see the battlefield, avoid here The highly misleading Expedia website puts Rorke's Drift Hotel Pty Ltd at the top of the page, when you type in Rorke's Drift Hotel, with which Expedia does not have a relationship. I was mislead into booking into Rorke's Drift Lodge, which is down a long, almost impassable, dirt road, consisting of four rooms, disinterested management and is self catering. My friends and family went ballistic when they saw the 'lodge', having just visited the 'hotel', which had plenty of vacancies and was a really great place, easily accessible and close to the battlefields. We stayed at the hotel for a very pleasant stay. Expedia should make it clear it has no relationship with the Rorke's Drift Hotel. ##### Peter Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### AILSA, INVERNESS, SCOTLAND 5 Nov 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Home from home in the bush Our hosts and staff were very accommodating and helpful and the facilities were excellent, the food was fab and Paul was our guide for the Battlefield Tour - very knowledgable and had a fantastic day = even though the weather tried to spoil it! Would recommend staying at Rorke's Drift Lodge to anyone who wants peace and quiet but also comfort and a home from home feel. ##### AILSA Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 1 May 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### One night in the veld Peaceful night in a lovely room with a separate living area and outdoor area. Beautiful views! ##### Andrew ### 8/10 Good #### fiona 30 Apr 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Off the beaten track The lodge is over 20km on a dirt road with the last 5km being a bit rougher but we managed in our small rental car. If you are planning to self cater, as we did, stop in town to get your supplies beforehand. Meals are available but need to be pre ordered, and as locals we found them to be pricey. However, considering where supplies come I can understand why. There is a braai and we used it both nights we were there. Our suite was huge, with a kitchen, lounge, big bedroom and separate shower and toilet. It was clean and bedding was spotless. In fact the bed was so comfortable that we checked the mattress for brand! There are 2 friendly dogs and one accompanied us on a walk above the lodge. We did a full day Battlefield trip with Paul who is very passionate and well informed about the wars. It was interesting but a long day with a lot of information and would probably appeal more to a history buff. I later mentioned this to someone who'd been to the area and they'd done two 1/2 day trips, which would be more relaxing but we didn't have the time to do it that way. ##### fiona ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 25 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 3 Oct 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chaaya-Island-Hotels-Cinnamon-Dhonveli-Maldives.h2232968.Hotel-Information) > > [Tower Club at lebua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bangkok-Hotels-Tower-Club-At-Lebua.h3741497.Hotel-Information) > > [Alcazar Hotel & SPA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vila-Real-Santo-Antonio-Hotels-Hotel-Alcazar-Beach-SPA.h854536.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunas do Alvor - Torralvor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Dunas-Do-Alvor-Torralvor.h34630917.Hotel-Information) > > [Orchard Lodge, Exclusive Log Cabin, York riverside village 2m P+R, 4m city walls](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Orchard-Lodge.h22195615.Hotel-Information) > > [VanderValkHotels Hotels in Hoek van Holland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoek-Van-Holland-Hotels-Van-Der-Valk-Hotels.0-0-d5318--bVanderValkHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Can Vistabella Boutique Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sant-Antoni-De-Portmany-Hotels-Can-Vistabella-Boutique-Resort.h10612298.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Gold Souk](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Souk-Hotels.0-l6083269-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Ridge Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-The-Ridge-Hotel.h1784927.Hotel-Information) > > [Istasyon Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Istasyon-Hotel.h18589711.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton New York Times Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-Hilton-Times-Square.h423330.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Bath City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bath-City-Centre-Bath-Hotels.0-n553248635810422890-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Best Western La Mare o Poissons](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ouistreham-Hotels-Best-Western-La-Mare-O-Poissons.h3526389.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Collection Copenhagen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copenhagen-Hotels-NH-Collection-Copenhagen.h67669497.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Bercy Arena](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bercy-Arena-Hotels.0-l6145097-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [B&B Salisbury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salisbury-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d5679-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Burnham-on-Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burnham-On-Sea-Hotels.d182477.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Lark Hill](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lark-Hill-Hotels.d3000716271.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chicago-Hotels-Sofitel-Chicago-Magnificent-Mile.h864219.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Virgin Atlantic Manchester (MAN) to Orlando (MCO) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/virgin-atlantic-from-manchester-to-orlando-intl/vs/man/mco) > > [Flights from LON-All Airports to Ioannis Kapodistrias](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lon/cfu/london-to-corfu) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to San Luis Obispo (SBP)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/sbp/london-to-san-luis-obispo) > > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Seattle (SEA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/sea/london-to-seattle) ### Cars > [Car hire in Balham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Balham.d3000662701.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Car hire in New Haven](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-New-Haven.d180036.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Barrow In Furness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Barrow-In-Furness.d6451-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Holiday Rentals > [Portrush Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portrush-Holiday-Rentals.d5712.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) ### General > [Visit Kabukicho](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Kabukicho.dx6155217) > > [Visit Vomero](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naples-Vomero.dx6184670)
