Wild Horses Mountain Lodge

City dwellers in Johannesburg, Bloemfontein and Durban have, at their doorstep, a gem of a hideaway mountain retreat. Occupying pride of place within the Sterkfontein Nature Reserve, Wild Horses Lodge is a rambling Sandstone villa facing the breathtaking expanse of the Sterkfontein Dam and the Platberg Mountains.

This Drakensberg Lodge was built with living in mind. Kitchen, lounge, and bar area merge, and regardless of which room you choose to inhabit you are treated to the most magical view. The dining room opens out to an expansive terrace. A private library, wine cellar, Koi pond, rim-flow pool, rose garden and landscaped indigenous garden complete the picture. This is like home…. only better.

True luxury is as much about subtle detail as it is about furniture and décor. You’ll notice the night cap on the bedside table as you retire to your suite, and the freshly baked biscuits with the coffee. This mountain retreat has proudly earned each of its five stars.

Wild Horses Lodge should be penned on the map of any traveller who enjoys to drive and explore. Whether it be the Midlands Meander, The Drakensberg Mountains, or the Clarens Route, the scenery will literally render you breathless. For a romantic Drakensberg getaway, a few days away from the kids, a place to celebrate a special occasion (birthday, anniversary, or intimate gathering), or a getaway with friends, Wild Horses Lodge accommodates up to 8 people in 4 uniquely decorated suites.

Wild Horses makes for an intimate wedding venue, and can comfortably cater for up to thirty guests.
