The stay
Sixteen suites with uninterrupted Amphitheatre views
Montusi is much smaller than the Central Drakensberg resorts, with only sixteen freestanding suites arranged in indigenous gardens and open mountain scenery.
Who Montusi suits
It suits couples and families who want a small mountain lodge rather than a large resort. The two-bedroom Family Suites sleep four to five, and the Garden and Mountain Suites sleep two. Guided daily hikes and the tennis court are free for guests, and there is a pool and a day spa in the main building.
