InKungu Lodge Winterton, KwaZulu-Natal

INKUNGU LODGE

A beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of the central Drakensberg that specializes in luxury getaways,
gourmet dining, intimate weddings and conferences.

“Inkungu Lodge celebrates the glorious views of the Central Drakensberg mountain ranges, melting into the natural flora with indigenous gardens and a rimflow pool that reflects the changing moods and seasons of the Champagne Valley region. Inkungu means mist or cloud in Zulu, and the ongoing play of both of these around the riverine valleys and craggy slopes contributes to the mountain’s moody mystique.

This harmony with nature has been carried through every aspect of the lodge – the sandstone walls, natural gardens and rim flow pools blend perfectly with the majesty of the surrounding Drakensberg mountain ranges.

Luxury accommodation within the lodge, each room has been individually designed with hand-picked furniture and gorgeous fabrics. Many of the rooms boast antiques, each with a unique story behind them.

“We stayed at number 4 as a gift to my wife from Emma.
The view was magnificent.
The accommodation was lovely.
The pool was a short walk but worth it.
No black-outs cos an inverter was provided.
Our only concern was the monkeys. As long as you are aware, then they are not a problem.”
