4.7 Sustainability Rating
Nestled at the base of the mighty and lush Drakensberg mountains in KwaZulu-Natal is the bespoke Three Tree Hill Lodge. The lodge embodies the charm and relaxed atmosphere of its verdant surroundings — making it a fantastic base from which to explore the natural wonder of the area on horseback, mountain bike or foot. The lodge is also serious about sustainability, and is involved in various initiatives that benefit the local communities and businesses. The lodge has an on-site vegetable garden, and is working to restore the area’s natural biodiversity with the help of a native tree nursery. Three Tree Hill also conserves energy and water, and waste materials are also responsibly managed.

Because of the easy way we communicated with our Viatu expert, it felt like planning our holidays with a friend. It made it really flexible and perfectly suitable for our needs. The accommodations that he suggested were just wonderful and a perfect mix of everything we needed.
