Overview
Located in the Eastern Free State's pristine Sterkfontein Nature Reserve at the foothills of the Drakensberg Escarpment, Wild Horses Lodge is the perfect location for an African breakaway. With its panoramic views of the majestic Platberg Mountain and the vast Sterkfontein Dam, the Lodge is a masterpiece of architectural design in local sandstone and offers luxury accommodation, exquisite cuisine and a variety of activities centred around the dam and the abundant wildlife of the reserve.

This small, romantic country lodge with its four ultra luxurious suites (no smoking allowed), offers personalised service and a warm South African welcome to guests seeking tranquillity, comfort and stylish sophistication in beautiful surroundings. Suites have sumptuous en-suite bathrooms with showers and slipper or spa baths, separate toilets, individual climate control, real log fireplaces and oil heaters. Television with DSTV and wireless Internet access are standard, as are hair driers, kettles, complimentary tea and coffee, a well-stocked bar fridge, digital safe and a writing pad and pen. Creature comforts include Egyptian cotton linen on the beds, luxurious cotton bathrobes and towels and slippers.

Conveniently situated halfway between Johannesburg and Durban, just 30 km from Harrismith, Wild Horses is the perfect place to rejuvenate mind, body and soul. We undertake to provide our guests with peaceful surroundings and complete privacy and, for this reason, children and pets and not permitted.

The Lodge consists of an accommodation wing, a dining room which opens onto an extensive terrace, a lounge which opens onto a viewing deck overlooking the majestic Sterkfontein Dam and a well-stocked wine cellar. A Koi pond, rim-flow pool, rose garden and landscaped indigenous garden complete the picture.

Accommodation is offered on a full board basis or the Lodge can be booked in its entirety for private functions. On site activities include horse riding, hiking, game viewing, luxury boat cruises and fly fishing. The Lodge shuttle will transport guests to local places of interest as well as to-and-from OR Thambo and Durban International Airports.

"I had an excellent two night stay. The setting of the lodge, overlooking the dam, is stunning, as is the local scenery. The room was clean and very comfortable, and the general ambiance of the venue was pleasant and welcoming. The food was of excellent quality and there was a nice wine list that had been carefully thought through.A great venue for 'chilling', and the staff are all welcoming, friendly and extremely helpful. I will definitely be returning."
