Three Trees At Spioenkop
KwaZulu-Natal

An eco-friendly 18-bed lodge, Three Trees at Spioenkop (also known as Three Tree Hill Lodge) offers magnificent scenery and warm hospitality managed by hosts Simon and Cheryl Blackburn.  The lodge itself is an elegant affair, exuding laid-back colonial style. Guests dine communally (unless otherwise requested) in the atmospheric dining room with post-prandial port and cognac on the veranda under an immense starry sky.

Each of the guestrooms sports a private deck which offer unsurpassed views of the game-rich valley below and Spioenkop peak towering over the reserve. For honeymooners or families with teenagers, we recommend Churchills, the estate’s stand-alone villa with its own game-viewing deck. 

This is a place that cares for its roots and the local surroundings. Three Trees employs local Zulu staff from the nearby Hambrook Village and there is a feeling of family that pervades which is enjoyed by many guests.

Close to the base of Van Reenens pass, the lodge is also the ideal half-way stop between Johannesburg & Durban. This lodge is the perfect location to base yourself for exploring the major Anglo-Boer War Battlefields in KwaZulu Natal, the Northern Drakensberg Mountains (world heritage site), and within two hours reach of the Anglo-Zulu War Battlefields (Battles of Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift).

Client Testimonials

So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!
- Krista Weir, Sri Lanka
Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!
- Mr David Wallace, North India
I thought the Ampersand team was outstanding. We couldn’t have hoped for anything more.
- Mr Geoffrey Johnson, India
Ampersand provided a bespoke and flexible holiday, tailored to my every whim. Their highly professional staff had only one goal which was to arrange an exceptional holiday and some unforgettable experiences in India. I have no hesitation in fully recommending them and they will be the first company I approach in the future - 10/10
- Anonymous, India
Everything you did for us whilst we were away was hugely appreciated, and Ampersand has been exemplary in every way. I'll always recommend you!
- Mr Richard Stoughton, Sri Lanka
I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.
- Matthew Nicklin, North India
Without question, you put together the best trip I have ever taken. We were shown around like visiting dignitaries, the hotels were fantastic and the itinerary was just right. Everybody I know will hear about how amazing Ampersand is!
- Leslie Siben, India
Difficult to articulate just how good the service from you and your team really was. We know you will continue to do well and hope we have the chance to seek your assistance again before long.
- Mr & Mrs Manson, North India
We had a wonderful holiday - everything was perfect. Thank you for helping us to make a thoughtful plan to enjoy and make most out of our trip. The places we visited, the guides, the transportation and driver, the hotels selected... Everything was great!
- Jaime Benitez, South India
I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India
