Description
Kwela Lodge is the ideal getaway for the holiday maker or business traveller, nature lover and bird watcher - anyone wanting to relax and seeking tranquillity, peace and security in country surroundings for a weekend or longer stay. The original farmhouse was built in 1841 and belonged to Par Otto, one of the first settlers to the valley.Otto’s Bluff Mountain is named after him. In the fifties Otto's Bluff Farm - as Kwela Lodge was then called was a working farm with dairy cattle, maize and wattle tree plantations and a mill. In 1936/7 the movie King Solomon’s Mines based on Rider Haggard’s book was shot on location at the foot of Otto’s Bluff Mountain.
Enjoy our beautiful gardens and trees which are home to an abundance of birds and make friends with our farm animals. Explore the unspoilt African bush on our property or simply relax at the pool and listen to the rustle of the palm leaves above you. Be inspired by the history of this magic place.
The lodge is situated in country surroundings at the foot of Otto's Bluff Mountain with a stunning panoramic view over the Albert Falls Dam and Umgeni Valley - only 15 minutes from Pietermaritzburg, 20 minutes from Albert Falls Dam Reserve and 50 minutes from Durban.
