Description
Sani Lodge and Backpackers is set on an enviable location on 30 hectares of land that borders directly onto the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park. It is situated on the Sani Pass road, just 16 km from the South African border post to Lesotho. Not only does the famous Giant's Cup Trail start from here, but so do many day and overnight hikes into the wilderness.
The Sani Lodge and Backpackers is owner-run and offers a range of accommodation to suit a variety of budgets including dormitory rooms, standard double or twin rooms, en-suite rondavels, camping and four self-catering family cottages. There are 2 clean ablution facilities for the dorms and standard rooms that do not have their own en-suite bathrooms. Two of the cottages have mountain views. The property boasts a swimming pool with fantastic mountain views, a restaurant offering all meals, a bar and a family nature trail.
Guests will have shared access to a communal kitchen, lounge area, a braai area, and a swimming pool. The kitchen is equipped with a stove, fridge, freezer, microwave, kettle, cutlery and crockery, pots and pans. The lounge has an open fireplace for cold weather, a book exchange, a reading nook, and dining areas. The outdoor braai area is where guests can bring their own wood and make a fire to braai their meat.
The on-site restaurant is open 7 days a week for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and teatime treats. Wi-Fi is available. You may sit outdoors in the garden of the restaurant or inside to use this service whilst enjoying our quality home-cooked food and our delectable Cappuccinos made from organic freshly ground coffee. At the restaurant, there is a bar serving craft beer, cocktails and mixers.
There is also an on-site Craft Shop and Farm Supplies Shop. The Farm Supplies Shop sells farm dairy produce, cheese, ice cream, yoghurt, cream cheese, feta, halloumi, butter, and fresh milk. The Craft Shop supports local South African crafts and Sani Lodge ceramics made on-site. There is also an Art Gallery with paintings by Simone Suchet. Massage treatments can also be arranged.
Tours up the Sani Pass and into Lesotho can be arranged with The Sani Lodge and Backpacker's very own on-site tour company, Drakensberg Adventures, which offers special rates and tours to their guests. Guided overnight hikes to sleep in a cave in the Drakensberg Park can also be arranged. Guests can also enjoy self-guided hikes..
