General Information
Surrounded by the Drakensberg Mountains, overlooking a secluded valley of the Spioenkop Game Reserve and in the lee of the famous hill, Spioenkop, lies Three Trees Lodge.
Three Tree Hill Lodge has been built on a hillside with views that inspired a guest to write ?Africa at its finest!'. On the Reserve, white rhino, giraffe, zebra, eland, kudu and numerous smaller antelope can be seen, perhaps even from your bathtub!
The bedrooms are equipped with all the modern conveniences yet care has taken so they do not detract from the colonial design, but merely enhance your turn of the century South African colonial life experience. Each room has its own deck, which offers unimpeded views of the valley and Spioenkop and if luck is on your side you might see a rhino or giraffe wandering by.
The main lodge at Three Tree Hill has a swimming pool, a main dining and sitting room with a spacious veranda and game viewing deck. Proprietors Simon and Cheryl Blackburn (ex Singita Private Game Reserve and ex Kwando Safari Experience), highly experienced safari guides, both share and will continue with this vision. You are welcomed into their home, and invited to experience the warm hospitality in their family run lodge.
For the twitchers out there you will find 270 bird species from Cape Vultures and Lanner Falcons to Buff Streaked Chats and Fairy Flycatchers in the area.
