It is a marvelous little spot - gracious and friendly hosts, beautiful setting, a well stocked bar and excellent restaurant.

The setting itself is beautiful and the tour of Spion Kop was very special. Raymond Heron is very knowledgable and his description of the futile battle brought tears to our eyes. Although we booked for self catering... More

We stayed at Spion Kop lodge on 16th January 2012.

We arrived late afternoon, and spent... More
